Ya i do have time to repair sometimes. I just wish the sub could take more depth charge. I hate the end mission screen. If only we could see our u-boats exploded and not a sudden game over .. etc

Btw i see that alots of people here talk about Das boot. The movie U-571 is also good imo. For people who haven't saw that film give it a try

That damn uboat have taken more than 20 depth charges lol

Are you playing with any mods? There is a depth-charge mod that lowers the effect of the blast, reducing the kill radius from 25 meters to about 8 meters, which is historically accurate. I'm sure it is included in both NYGM and GWX, and possibly War Ace as well. It lets you get pounded for hours, and sometimes still escape.

U-571 is one we don't talk about much around here. Most of us have seen it and most of us consider it to be one of the worst movies ever made. From having the Americans get the sub up and running when the Germans couldn't right to the destroyer sitting still for a deck-gun shot to the radio room the movie was about as phoney as it gets. Real submarines escaped having hundreds of depth charges dropped in their area, as very few were ever close enough to do serious damage.

And not to mention the event this was based on was carried out by Englishmen (and some germans I suppose) there is a really good book featuring this, it might be Station X-I could be horribly wrong 'though
