Task Force: 0 U-338: 2!

[Cpt.Thorne]

NYGM med is also one tough challenge with angry allied fleet action and the merchant convoy routes are altered to have trafic in different places too not only in the SHIII vanilla 1 convoy route. No 3 week passages in empty seas in the Med. Lots of shoot and hide action. Highly recommend the med to be played to get some different feel to SHIII especially with NYGM or GW.

Must try the Med some time but it's hard for me I love my IXD2

Hmm...been wondering...would it be possible to purchase a IXD2 sub after the transfer? :hmm:

[soma]

dont you get to keep your sub after transfer? I just transfered from the 29th to the 7th, still got my crew and trusty 7c

[Cpt.Thorne]

yes you get to keep it but IXD will be a suicide boat with those Hurricanes hunting you down all the time and tight water areas to avoid wabo attacks

[kylania]

Yup, this was with GW 1.1a. When I transferred I manually picked a new VIIC boat, but believe I would have been able to keep my IXC. Personally I just wanted the smaller sexier boat!

I ran into the remains of this Task Force again the next day!! Once again they were closing into my position, so it was a matter of just not moving and I was in perfect firing position.

Unfortunately all I had left were three homing torpedos and a elec. I fired a homing at the Dido and Fiji left.. one never hit, the other one ended up following the Fiji for like 3 minutes till I finally got close enough to hit. Dead in the water but no flooding. I hit it again in the bow ammo, no explosion, and that caused some forward flooding. Another homing missed entirely! By now I was out of torpedos, but she wouldn't sink!

I surfaced, decks awash 5km behind her and started Deck Gunning her. Blew off the rear turrets, both stacks, the bridge.. yet STILL no sinking. I was afraid to close on the sides lest I get gunned down, so after a day of waiting I just left and called it a patrol.

Haven't seen any planes yet though.

Was heading to my patrol sector in BE 65 after creating choas on the way. Then my look out shouted warship spotted. I took a look, and yeppers, DD off the starboard. Periscope depth. Began targeting and tracking and was setting up for a electric torp attack. This was about 1500 local time and dead calm waters with haze. They my Pinghead starts shouting off more warship contacts. WTH! This may not be a good idea...after I already fired the FISH! Then I realized that the DD was doing 21KNTS. OKAY time for the GOD VIEW. I hit the ">" button and started counting all the DD's and Cruisers. I stopped at the Battleship! Problem was, I was submerged and couldn't catch em, even on the surface. I Emeergancy surfaced, realied the contact via radio and went down to visit Davy Jones. I calculated thier course to the Med, so off I go to Spain. Didn't make it. Ran into a bunch C2 and C3's. Then just had to qiute SHIII for awhile. Will restart the patrol tonight, (doing it on Laptop with no mods.) I had good renoun after the patrol, even after failing to do my grid, but damn, I want to bag me a Battleship in the open Atlantic. No Salvaging that thing at 2000 meters.
