U-355 longest patrol... (story about LRT mod in 42/43)

Those damage textures look nasty. In a good way

.

Do you change your skin on midpatrol ? It doesn't look icy anymore :hmm:

I was going to test the lrt mod asap but I'm still on patrol and can play for hours without getting to an end. Some stupid convoy escorts make me work hard to get near any of their freighters and I am currently making the third attempt now.

EDIT: Looking at your last screenshot I have another question: Does the LRT mod disable the compartement status bars ?

Hi Thomas,

>>>Those damage textures look nasty. In a good way

Good that you can't see the other side...

>>>Do you change your skin on midpatrol ? It doesn't look icy anymore :hmm:

nope, just switched to this rusted skin as BdU throws me all over the place and icy skin was cool and realistic only for deep north

>>>I was going to test the lrt mod asap but I'm still on patrol and can play for hours without getting to an end. Some stupid convoy escorts make me work hard to get near any of their freighters and I am currently making the third attempt now.

If you don't have any damages try it, want hurt you! Also the DDs are not that hard but minutes ago I had my first rocket attack, took me a while to understand but it was too late, good he missed...

Yes, you just need to check on your crew. Actually if you get max efficiency you'll see a slight piece of green bar but that's hard to archive when playing realistic (the crew model in LRT is very ok!).

I must have got some hull damage yet but dunno, it doesn't get displayed. My Flak was slightly damaged twice though :>

I will just make a backup of my saves and try it.

The DD's are no good in hunting me. They throw depth charges all over the place but not where I am. But they are good as hell in spotting me where I barely can see their funnel smoke (slight fog overcast at the horizon). So I will make my next approach at night time (as the first one) and if I get damaged I will see if LRT holds what it promises

Wha, I loaded my older savegame. Before I already got some broken glas at some of the dials and gauges. With LRT they kept breaking after I reloaded this savegame. Guess I have to get home for repairs before I activate this

Yeah, slight damage takes a lot of glass to brake after reload

But probably your rupf is still ok - that's why I turned on to get used to new damage model.

PS I'm heading for Murmansk... nothing happens here, null

Where the * is Murmansk ? Ah, just found it on the map

Stupid escorts are too good for me

The convoy is screened by 5 DD's and not even the crappy flower corvettes. This was the third time I tried to get into the convoy. Approached it from the front, submerged. Let the first escort pass me by, drove at 6kn to get away from her, she hasn't recognised us but when she turns on her default patrol route she finds us with ASDIC.

So if the screen is too tight to sneak in submerged I should try it surfaced the next time, with decks awash. But I'm pretty sure they will see me nearly as close as I am able to see them...

Perhaps we should turn off some of the front deck party lights :hmm:
