I just calculated how many ships i sank with U-110 before i got my Type7c. (thanks for SubCmDr)

152(including merchant & warship) On avg 9 ships sunk per for a total of 17patrols

LOL Spaxspore! I'll quote from the book again! (Not good luck, huh?)

"U 110 was captured by British warships (contrary to Hollywood's perception) during an attack on convoy OB 318, south of Iceland on May 9, 1941. The boat was forced to surface after depth charging by the corvette and was abandoned as Bulldog appeared to be on course for ramming her. During the rapid clearing of the boat's equipment and documents by British personnel, her Enigma cipher machine was recovered which provided the last link in Britain's efforts to decode naval signal traffic. U 110 sank the following day whilst under tow." :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Dude..... IF u read.... that was MY patrols not the actually Boat...
