R.I.P. the crew of U-19

My last TC death was from my own stupidity.

I was sick of the Keil canal TC dropdowns, so I adjusted all the TC rates in SHIII commander to max, planning to quickly pass through the canal at max TC without dropping back to 1 for every time a ship was spotted, or the water got to shallow. I'd then save, exit, edit the paramaters back to normal, then go on my merry way.

Expecting horrendous lag, I loaded, hit the auto course for the Keil canal at ahead standard, bumped up TC to max, and left the room. Came back a few minutes later to find myself dead.

Seems I'd plotted a Kiel canal inbound course rather than outbound, and my navigator sent my boat out of the pen, across the harbour, and beached her on the opposite shoreline. I only realised this when I did exactly the same thing on the reload, and stayed to watch what happened.

So who gets the court martial?
