Longer U-boat Repair Times mod ready for download

[Deep Six]

Ok, here's the scene it's my second patrol (Again after reloading SH3 so many times because of mods) anyways I clear Willihamsanwich.

And save the game as I now want to get my Ultra message from SHgen about Marine activity.....My initial patrol area is AM32.... Report comes back that the BS Rodney maybe in Loch Ewe along with a whole bloody task force !!! To good to be true, well no self respecting danger sniffing Kaleun would sniff at these targets.

Cut to the chase finish my patrol area with one kill of a coastal merchant...Head straight for Loch Ewe and my Knights cross with Diamonds and Oak leaves, just waiting to be awarded when I get back home. I Time my egress into the loch knowing that there are sub nets in front of me so that I "bump" them at 2knts midnight........OUCH !!!! LRT kicks in with a vengeance forward tubes compartment taking on slight flooding and damage to tube 2 & 4 with estimates of 3 hours to repair !!! All Back on the telegraph and its a surface and mad dash for 400m to get over and clear the nets..Phew... Back to peri depth repairs are taking much longer then expected, flooding under control. So I head southwest and and west of the suspected position of the Rodney...All Stop repairs are now going better but then fatigue starts to kick in with my crew!!!!! I'm switching crew like crazy to get the forward tubes fixed....At last its now 5.17 am in the morning and I'm set...Sonar has been singing all night about ships passing to and fro but well away from my position...Time for a peek up top.....And there she is the BS Rodney with one V & W destroyer for escort, and aways to my relative position....OMG its that bloody task force, with yet another Nelson 2 frigates 3 smaller destroyers and a gamut of merchant craft.

(Sweaty palms and head buzzing) I plan my attack...The Rodney is the easiest target as its 1096 m away AOB is 76 degree 4 fish decent spread to hit from bow to stern......Los...down peri.....Hard right turn 5 knts silent.......4 big bangs.
I plan a route that will take me deeper into Loch Ewe but almost behind the docks , Down that channel running south West come about and take another peek topside, she's still afloat and now my C02 gauge is starting to climb...Damn that damage previous now I'm in deep **** !!!..Tubes 1-4 reloaded , getting light outside, so I decide that I have no option but to take out the V&W first 2 fish easy kill. Still two fish left but the Rodney may take more, fire one 1&4 big spread one to hit under the main bridge and the other between the first and second gun mounts..

BOOM .......and she starts to slip...and there she goes over on her side.
Ok now I gotta get outta here and sonar is reading off contacts like its fireworks night...CO2 at 50% and I need so surface,,,yeah and commit suicide.. My route out of Loch Ewe is planned , I make a mad dash around the sunken V&W and then head straight up hugging the coast but All is lost that damn Task force is pinging me. I'm at peri with 9m below me.....A small hunter makes a dash at me and I try to evade but my conning tower takes a broadside....Gulp my damage screen is a mess no peri, no obs, and for good measure no sonar plus I'm leaking like a bucket. Full Ahead for a quick dash to deeper water.(If you can call the water deep in Loch Ewe)..anyways Flooding is out of control....All stop and sit on the bottom....Two destroyers make there runs at me I go to full ahead and try to at least lessen the blow....................To my Dear wife....Goodnight Sweetheart. Here endeth the patrol of U57.... Let it be known that LRT really can Ky bosh your best plans if it had not been for that slight "Bump" into the nets this might have worked out for me.......
