Default I did it again.......

I have started 5 patrols since installing GWX and I cannot get past 2 patrols without getting destroyed . Send me to the Russian front. Maybe I will have better luck . Then again, putting together some furniture while submerged under a convoy loading torpedos and not really paying attention does not help matters Especially after I sunk 3 and kind of made my presence know

LMAO!

Since GWX is out, at Subsim are hundrets of posts like this:rotfl:
And hey... youre not alone. Being one of the Dev´s dont help me surviving longer than you. But I have the feeling I will made it now. New Career, startet September 39, IIA (1.U-Flottille)...

Now I will go on my 3. Patrol with my new VIIB (my favorite Boat) in a few Minutes.
New Boat, new luck? Well see...

Gung-Ho, Gung-Ho, Gung-Ho! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I was sunk in the Dezember 1942 in my last campaign from 6 russian destroyer.
I think the russian front is not a good choice.

Oh well, started another patrol. Just another day at the office or is that conning tower:hmm: ? Maybe I will be back and well maybe I won't. One thing is for sure, Donitz is getting tired of handing over expensive military hardware

I can't understand why some of you kaleuns keep ending up dead all the time, how did you pass the naval academy?

I'm on my 5'th patrol, sunk a total of 37 ships, and the DD's haven't killed me yet...simply because I'm smarter than them

Naval Academy?????? I joined the Navy? I'm usually dead because I still run around like Swashbuckeling Pirate! I still thumb my nose, drop my pants and flip the bird to the DD. Somehow they have become more aggressive with GWX.... Actually my last patrol was number 2 and I was putting together a table while submerged under a convoy loading torpedos. I had three DD and a corvette all over me. I was busy and not really paying attention. I guess about 125m down and one very accurate ash can. Flooding was to great and I was crushed like an ant ....

Next time I do not leave the helm. Oh yeah, not everyone was sinking 100000 tons and most were getting sunk after one or two patrols....thats me I'm in the "most" column....

@Subwolf
In GWX, wisdom, knowledge and the best training is worth a sh*t if you become surprised in 43 during the night because the enemy has a good working radar, aircrafts with lights etc...
Go around England with max 256x TC and you will see :p

Many things are just LUCK. I survived many things because of pure LUCK. But I also died a few times because of...of... damn...whats the opposite of luck!?

Yeah well a real U-boat kaleun doesn't put together tables while submerged under a convoy loading torpedoes, no wonder you became DD food.

Nippelspanner: So you think they'll kill me in '43, well I just have to stay submerged and put up the airtube now and then, and let it take the time it needs.
