BF31 Is it worth the risk...

Murr44 · 10-23-08, 02:54 PM

It's March '41 & BdU has ordered me to go to BF31. Including tonnage sunk in this 6th patrol, I've topped 152,000 tons & haven't suffered any casualties (except for my IIWO: removed by SH3 Cmdr - killed by partisans on last leave). I know that GWX removed the renown bonus for patrolling your assigned grid & I'd just as soon not go there if it's heavily mined. I'm at sea btw.

Any thoughts?

Screw it

As long as you're getting tonnage it should be all good.

My last patrol I never even made it to my patrol zone. Found a convoy, attacked it once, tried twice but ended up finding some other single ships. Then when I tried to get to my patrol zone, convoy after convoy kept showing up near me.

I was sent there one carear ago, quite intresting, dicent tonage Too. depending on where your at. alittle shallow though.

On the other hand, it 1941, I wouldnt do it. youl notice I said one carear ago.:rotfl:

Thanks. I think that I'll play it safe & stay out of BF31. BdU can go there if he likes; I want my RK.

It's your command and you can play it however you like.

But...

Those who prefer to play it as close to historically real as they can get would follow orders or face serious disciplinary action, not to mention that avoiding an assigned patrol area because you're worried about staying alive in shallower waters might earn you a court-martial at the point of a Luger.

Me, I prefer to follow orders but I fight for me and my men.

Just out of curiousity...

How would BdU know whether you got there or not? Without GPS or satalite imagry, couldn't you say you went there? Did the crew even know what your orders are before you told them?

I wonder how many captains did make that call and what happened to them.
