1943 Impossible????

[viper771]

I have the World mod and that is alli i have installed.... and i wanted to try a new career in 1943.. first i went to the base which has the IX boats and i put uber flak on it.... within the first day of my patrol, where i just left my base.... i was killed by planes... Those suntherlands (sp?) bombed me dead on, and killed me.. so i tried again.. sAME THING, got bombed to death at NIGHT ... so i tried another 1943 career and started from norway.... before i got to my grid by scapa flow... my hull was down to 10% and i gave up... the only ships i saw were 2 destroyers by scapa flow...and thats it.... radar sucks for the uboats.. when does the snorkel become available to put on the boat??/? forget using a IX boat that late in the war... you are just a sitting target...
