Funny patrol result ...

[ppk]

Hehe well it turns out I made it. Repaired and pumped for a while and then time accelerated for a few hours to make sure I'd be alone when I went up. The worst was getting the boat moving at all... The dive planes were ''Damaged'' too so maybe that didn't help. The batteries were so low on juice that they only ever managed 1 knot but I made it to the surface (eventually ...). Apparently the return to base button didn't mind I was out of fuel because it took me right back to Lorient .

It was either that or waiting for the next DD to finish me.. I think there should be the ''abandon ship'' option for those situations though. Has anyone ever made a mod that included this? Oh and it was still happy time... late '40. That probably contributed to the DDs not finishing me.

It's a little known secret of WWII that the U-bootwaffe possessed tugboats with hyperdrives.

Isn't there is an "Abandon Career" choice in the menu that comes up when you hit Esc to leave a mission? Now you've got me wondering!

I do know that Jaesen's excellent SH3 Commander has the option of allowing your Personnel File to show that you abandoned ship and were taken as a POW.

Anyways, glad you made it out of there safe. That won't happen again after you reach 1942.

There needs to be a "surrender" button....Some of the time I would much rather end up in New York then being shot at by 5 destroyers until I die.

Wasn't there an abandon ship button in Silent Hunter II?

On that subject, I was wondering - When is it exactly that the Allies get advanced sonar? Is it randomized so it's a big surprise every time?

Glad to hear you made it. Drinks are on you.

I think if you play at 100% you get the "Abandon Career" option, if you don't play at 100%. you get the "return to base" option (the famed magic carpet)
