U-202 Log Book

We are en route now to our assigned patol areas. First we will pass through KM grids BF51 BF42 BF43 and BF17 where we will spend a few days in search of merchant shipping transporting supplies to and from the Med and areas of North Africa. Then, we will turn northwest to patrol the choke point in the western approaches in the vicinity of grids AM52 and AM02. Finally we will turn west to patrol the area of the Rockall Banks before returning to port. Ernst estimates the entire patrol should take anywhere from 12 to 15 days depending on weather and the frequency of encounters with the enemy. Thus far, all systems appear operational. we should lose contact with land in approximately 4 hours. Plan to surprise the crew with a crash dive to be followed by a weapons test at approximately 0100 hours.

This could be intersting, that's if he doesn't go nuts before it all over!

In the intrest of realism, have you limited yourself to food that is historical accurate?? One working toilet for 30 men for half the patrol? Sleeping in a bunk that's warm when you get in?:hmm:

This is a new idea for me, good luck herr Kaleun, i shall read your reports!

But in order to achieve 100 % realism, you should kick out your weapons officer. Those duties were divided between IWO (torpedos) and IIWO (flak & deck gun).

The captain has an own bunk, and it's green leather mattress won't have time to warm up once the action starts...
