Question for the DiD players: How long did you survive?

Rhodes · 11-29-08, 01:58 PM

Had a DiD career that began in mid 43 and end it on may 45!!!Eehehehhe with gwx 2.1 and etc! Possibly luck and also sinking one or two ships from a convoy at 5km and run away. in 44 my kaleun got the knights cross...

G.K. · 11-29-08, 02:27 PM

I played 4 DiD careers, each about 9 patrols as simulated with SH 3 comm...

The first one was an Atlantic campaign starting in late 1942 and ending early in 1944 when I was assigned to a training fleet...

The second one was a type XXIII career from Jan 1945. I got sunk on the first patrol by an aircraft while recharging the batteries via Snorkel... Radar detector attached to it warned me when the airplane was just 1,2 km far...

The third one was a Black sea campaign, after 11th patrol I was retired...

And the fourth one is a Med campaign starting in mid 1941... And In mid 1942 after 6 patrols, I am still alive...

Late 43 ~ early 44 is when i usually buy the hofbrau

I have only survived GWX a couple of times

lets see...i guess the allies should be glad i was never a U-boot captain....

Jan.1941, 100%realism,
265,976 Tons, after 15 patrols..

Started early war, and was paranoid after a PT boot managed to fire one round right thru one of my lookouts...

I have come to decide that there is not such thing as 100% realism

we simply encounter far too many ships in game

most boats never even attacked a single target

I have 2 DiD patrols both from Sept 1939 to August 1940. Using Sh3 commander I survived, retired and then chose the "itchy feet" option and promtly got myself captured or killed on the first patrol back

. Both were my 7th patrol and I was in a VIIB.

All that and at 100%! Good going

I still leave the targeting to my weapon officer
