I doubt changing the basic.cfg file in mid-patrol would cause a problem, but I doubt it would erase any penalty you've already been assessed, which I think is already written into your saved game files. Might as well wait till you are back in port!

Good luck and good hunting!

Always save game before shooting. I do and it stops this sort of thing happening.

The myth of CTD/bugs while saving underwater or within 50km of anything interesting is just that...a myth. It's only happened to me once or twice in several thousand hours of game time and both times it was no more than a petty inconvenience and recoverable. YMMV.

Yes, for those who don't play DID.

So do I, when I feel like it...

Otherwise, why mention an adverse result?

DiD is always an option but it doesn't preclude the alternative.

Dead is dead, unless it's not.

Then I do whatever I please. And I still play DID. YMMV

If I had a really bad campaign run and I wasn't sinking that much or any high-profile shipping, then I might play it as 'dead is dead'. Otherwise, 'dead was just a bad dream...'. And you wake up on your bunk in cold sweat.

I did a patrol in 39 where I cruised up the English coastline near scapa flow. Encountered a lone cargo ship at night and could only just make out the flag was red. Fired if an eel and hit forward of the boiler. As I was coming in closer to finish it off I realised it was the German Flag.

I high-tailed it out of threre and was lucky the ship didn't sink heh
