HAH, you think i shy away from convoys? Oh contrare. I get right in them, bring both bow and stern tubes to bear on two columns at once. Even then, escorts are stupid. (only boat i woudlnt try this with is an IXD2)

8 or 9 times out of 10 i slip away without much rukus.

For the record i ahve a lost contact time of 45, and have increased the noise factor and wave factors so the AI can hear more on their passive sonar. Whats more, right now im so fed up, i have made all those single ships in 43 and 44 in the caribean and east coast into mini convoys, 2 or 3 merchants with two elite DE's. Im acutally testing this now, i hope they give me a good pummeling


Before i go on next patrol, im going to do a "find and replace" on the RND layer. and make EVERYTHING crew rating 4.

Its the only crew rating that behaves aggressivly and is worth a damn.
Cool cool. Sounds good. 9 in 10 sounds like my luck (i die about 15 patrols into a career). From the careers you were posting in yer sig., it seemed like you also got capped early.
