is there a mod to tweek the gun in less than clear weather? I understand that its not gonna be much use in 15m/s gales but as long as the planes are able to fly, i should be able to shoot. specially the terrible 7 m/s one: its a beautiful day, man the gun when i tell you to!

BREAKING NEWS........................

Under pant theft hits America.

Over to you Brag.

On first patrol with VIIC and have sunk 35k tons with 9 torpedoes left. Nice to find those unescorted tankers. And it is quite pleasant to have 1000m of water beneath the boat, as on my first few patrols in the IIA I inadvertantly crashed dived to 25m when the depth was only 19m. 6 crew dead including an officer and my torpedo man. Haven't made those mistakes again.

Have also bookmarked the links provided.

Your shark says it all. We need a book (Kingmaker) buying frenzy to prevent pant theft.

Your torps can go underneath the target in heavy seas if you don't watch the depth setting. And if you set them shallow, they can explode on waves.

All sorts of challenges

Thanks for the welcomes and the info and tips. I checked the draft of the C2 cargo and it is 3.3m I think the auto torp settings are set at 4m or 5m so I set it at 2 with good results. Also will use the 500m to 1000m for setting up an attack.

Also was able to 'purchase' a VIIC. Now have alot of toys to hunt ships with.

One question. I like to be able to rest people whenever they need it. If you have a full crew it makes it hard to rest everyone. My idea was to leave 3-4 empty crew slots to free up room in quarters for when needed. Any reason I shouldn't do this?

And it seems rather hard to hit a destroyer from a thousand m. Even when it isn't zigzagging. 500m minimum when firing on a destroyer? I managed to sink one British destroyer but was close in. On another from 1000m the torpedoes wound up paralelling the ship.

Thanks again for the welcome and info. This forum is busy!! Good to know.

There is nothing wrong with what your considering for crew rest.

Ill take enough crew to fill the stations while submerged with none left over in the torp compartment. It means 42 guys in VIIB or C.
