U-181; 104 days at sea, and all I got was a lousy sun burn!

In a more serious context, that could so easily have been an accurate RL report

Exactly my feeling. Sometimes you just get 'skunked' as my grandpa used to say after a fruitless fishing trip.

I've had my share of long boring patrols with nothing to show for it. They do sucketh much.

To true Jim,but sadly my game time is valuable,running round the southern hemisphere looking for things to sink can try the patience of a saint

I suspect that is why some of those less 'saintly' use the SpySat mod

Indeed, but I am running SH3 in window mode, so it is no problem watching a movie or doing some work while playing.

Some patrols are like that, TWTDD

That's 2396 more GRT than I usualy get going all the way down there.
That's been a carreer ending patrol for more than one of my boats.

To eventualy be sent there in a IXC is pretty much expected.

Ajha, a historic U-Boot the real U-181, that was the last submarine of Wolfgang Luth; his ended his life in the IJN as I-501.

Oh, I totally agree.. and I am quite happy with it. Main reason being that I made it back to port alive. =)

Never was big tonnage king myself..

My personal record is only at around 162k in a career that lasted all but 16 patrols.

It was however somewhat odd, once I got south of Freetown, I ceased to get radio messages from BDU or other u-boats. On my journey home on the other side, it was like someone flipped a switch and all of a sudden I had problems running with TC because of the incoming messages.
