Unlike stock SH3 1943 is now 100% harder and the war is now 100% against you, you have to learn what to go after and what not to. Try the early years first 39-41 and give them hell but note 1942 is in the balance so you better get up to speed if you want to survive.

If you want to get away from most of the Allied air cover in 1944 get a IXD2 Boat and join the 10th flotilla down under at Penang.

Good luck to you, your going to need it.

Stay away from anything with a gun on it.

I have to disagree Steed, why not try a 1945 mission first, get your cage seriously rattled and almost certainly get yourself killed by the first ship you meet, but remember the lessons you learned for your patrol starting in 1939

or is this the masochists way of dealing with GWX?

Even Herr Ziepel is having troubles in mid 1944!

I nearly got my ass blown off when Tommy decided to crap his bubble-bombs down on me in the good 'ol English Channel.

Take some time to study a convoy before attacking. Watch and learn the escort's patterns.

But as said above, what works in '40 you'll find is suicide in '44.

quick, tell me everything you guys know that i should know before i dive into a sea of hurt...

no pun intended

1. Learn how to swim.
2. Make sure you pass out water wings to all your crew (Make sure they're the ones with the little duckies on them. The duckies make them float better). Make SURE they're handed out especially if you're on your seccond outting or later. Diapers may also be a must for some crews.
3. Get swearing, cursing, and waving your arms around in exasperation down to a science.
4. Don't try to secure or eliminate Bernard as this will still somehow result in disaster for you and your crew in some shape or form.
5. Keep your finger on the "Crash Dive" button throught your whole mission.
6. Make sure you have a good store of food and drink at hand due to the fact that you won't want to leave your computer ever again.
7. Stay out of Der Kanal !
8. STAY AWAY FROM THE BRITISH COAST OR THE ENGLISH CHANNEL !
