Welcome dudtorp!

I must say you're doing better than me when I first started.

TheDudTorpedo · 07-06-08, 09:35 AM

Thanks for the great welcome fellow Kaleuns!

Thanks for the boat and torpedo upgrade infromation...and I will definately try GWX someday soon.

With respect to the gramaphone...it seems my 'radio operator' forgot to unzip the files appropriately, and once I did that everything worked fine. I can now boost crew morale with some relaxing music. The radio operator got 3 days servicing the bilge pumps for his oversight!

Just returned to port this evening after a weeks worth of attrocious weather - rain, high seas and heavy fog for 5 days and nights! Only saw one destroyer (on its own?) when we nearly had a head-on collision coming out of very thick fog somewhere in Grid AK. We both went hard to starboard (he with cannons blazing and me ordering a crash dive) and we almost scraped port bows, no serious damage done but I dove to 160m and scampered home when I realised lining up some shots in high seas and thick fog was near impossible. BdU thinks Im a coward, but at least I live to fight another day

Dud Out.

Ah! Fantastic! Thanks Laufen...I followed the links in your sig to the gramaphone files. Great!

Hello Dud! Welcome to this nest of ruffians.

Murr44 · 07-06-08, 11:45 AM

Welcome aboard.

I think that once you get GWX you'll never want to go back to the stock game again.

Your cheque is in the post

TheDudTorpedo · 07-07-08, 09:10 AM

Thanks again for the warm welcome - very decent of you.

Well my latest patrol is at this stage rather hairy: After losing a crew member (sadly not Bernard) to several attacking Sunderlands (of which 3 were downed) I've dived to 90 with only 14m or so under keel to spare and am being pursued by said Sunderlands and a lone Destroyer. Hopefully I can get out to live another day. Hold thumbs for me - Im stuck in a somewhat shallow channel between Northern Ireland and Scotland (the grid name eludes me; AM68 possibly?).

Some Sunderlands calling in the Destroyer for help:

Last look before diving:

Three Sunderlands sent to the deep:

Brag · 07-07-08, 08:35 PM

Umm, Dud--not a good place to be. Hope you'll make it back.

Jimbuna · 07-08-08, 10:39 AM

Looking at the distance between the destroyer and yourself, and presuming you still have an eel or two left........continue heading away at slow ahead whilst reloading your tubes, then rise to PD and sink the basum if he continues to pester you.

The planes should fly off after a few passes.

That would be Bernard. Welcome to the Dummy club - we have lots of members.

Watch Das Boot again. Der Alte's crew thought he was crazy for attempting just such an attack. Your crew probably breathed a sigh of relief when you didn't. As for BdU, well, if your crew is with you, who's gonna tell 'em?
