Hull Integrity

Lol, out of the plethora of SHIII players, you're bound to find a few extreme outliers....

In my view, you're always lucky to get home. The fact that you did so at ~30% HI is fantastic.

Even luckier given that I was casually taking the boat down to 50m just to stop the watch crew getting wet in poor weather.
Normally I over-estimate damage to the hull, believing it is about to crushed by the next big wave, only to get back and find on the post patrol report screen that I had 98% HI, hence the big shock I got at the end of this one to find out I was much more damaged than I thought. A very lucky escape.

It was my first patrol on stock game, with a VIIB in September 1939. I had just decimated a barely escorted convoy at AL39, leaving only the American ships alive. I was heading for home, at 1024 TC.
Then I 'gracefully parked' at St. Kilda Island.
I don't know how I managed to return to Kiel with 4% H.I. Must have been Poseidon.
