Oh, it did far worse than game over you. It hurt you. And it wishes to go on, hurting you. It shall leave you as you left it, as you left her. Marooned 27 days away from Hitler's death, so far away, so far away.

I was hoping you'd seen Wrath of Khan. It would have been awkward otherwise

that does sound like a rip off...

there is a mod called Thomsen_s_No_Instant_DeathScreen_Mod___effects_V1. 1 it may be incorporated into other mods too (edits are made to the zone.cfg mainly)...but you should have flooding and a more protracted damage situation in critcal conditions...

you will find a lively discussion about it here:

Sorry to see your DID game come short like that
You did make it to April 1945 and you probably sank close to half a million tons of Allied shipping to afford that XXI

Can you post your career record?

maillemaker · 01-31-14, 08:27 AM

Yeah I'll post my career record when I get home.

I probably would have gotten enough renown for the Type XXI eventually, but I only had like 13K when it came available. I edited my patrols_0 to make sure I had essentially unlimited renown for the Type XXI as soon as it was available and unlimited selection of torpedoes.

Once I got the Type XXI I never left port with fewer than 11 homing torpedoes.

So , we all learned a lesson here : Tankers can sink Uboats!

Just kidding , tough luck.
At least you made it that far. I still haven't.

Haha that's a good way to do it

Instead of editing files, I make sure to refuel and refit at sea from one of the supply ships, set my time in base to three days and head back out on patrol. Of course I only do this if my boat is at 100% hull integrity and I stay at sea for a maximum of one month in my type VII, don't want my men to start missing their girlfriends back at home port.

If I'm in a type IX I'll cruise around the North Atlantic for around 5-6 weeks before heading back to Lorient.

At least this way I stay realistic while racking up renown.
