1) H2O2 can only be relenished at YOUR home base - no other bases or ships
2) The Walther boats are REAL fuel pigs compared to the D-2's. I took a D-2 to San Francisco and back with no fuel problems. My last mission I took a Walter from the Indian Ocean to Rabaul in the Solomons and was down to 10% diesel. You really are tied to your bases with the Walther - guess its the tradeoff for the neat toys you have. Although I really would have liked to have had a Type XXIII rather than a Type XVII just for the range. |

learning to work with the Walther
I finally got up the courage to attack a convoy supported by 2 DDs. Use the Peroxide drive to excape from the DDs as they attack. This is when it should be used during attack. I was able to get away and setup on two merchants and continue to get away. This works fine and I can return to port with plenty of Peroxide left. Takes some training to find out how to use the Walther.....
Oh, another funny thing with the Walther Torpedos. Have you noticed yet that they fishtail like they are seaking the target ? What's with that ? Working out ok now.... Regards Jib01 ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I was able to intercept that convoy.
I was able to intercept that convoy your talking about. It was my main objective before it reached a port in Australia. It was tough but I was able to sink the merchants and get completion.

...my previous mission I intercepted a US BB TF, ran in under the DD screen and sank THREE Pennsylvania class battleships. Nice Haul! Then went deep and sped away under a thermal layer at 24 knots.
The Walther drive does make it fun. Realistic? Dunno. |
