Im piloting U-196 at the moment....

U-196 under Korvkpt. Kentrat completed from 13 March, 1943 to 23 Oct, 1943 the longest patrol a submarine in WWII ever did (225 days at sea).

U-107, 10th Flotilla – IXB Class
Kapitan Lieutenant Sr. Luther

I decided to take a “detour” from my order to patrol the empty grid EJ59 to instead raid Loch Ewe and take on an Illustrious Fleet Carrier docked there. I successfully slipped past 9 warships and a large minefield in midday. My u-boat is positioned at a 170 degree angle, great position for my T II torpedoes with magnetic detonators. They are set at depths of 9, 9.3, 10, and 11 meters; I hope that this will account for the flooding that ensues from the first torpedo.

Firing tubes 1-4! Torpedo Impact! The 4 torpedoes were perfectly spread. Enemy unit destroyed! This will most likely be the last log of Kapitan Lieutenant Sr. Luther as three enemy warships are furiously heading towards me. I pray that the sinking of this enemy aircraft-carrier will help keep the war turned in our favor…

Kapitan Lieutenant Sr. Luther successfully evaded the enemy destroyers for 10 minutes before he was eventually discovered by a C-Class destroyer which pinged him and instantly destroyed his u-boat with side-launched depth charges. He will always be remembered as a hero and inspiration to other u-boat kapitans.

Kapitan Lieutenant Sr. Luther sank over 656,000 tons of enemy shipping over 20 patrols.

Everyone is bragging about their big, comfy, and roomy unterseeboots...I am telling you, the Type IIA is where it's at. Your crew can grow closer with each other and their commanding officers, and the kitchen/pantry area was voted "#1 Home-Style Appeal" by Better 'Boots and Keels.

Beat that.

Agreed, the Type II (D) is where its at. None of this "sure I'll sink the small merchant ship because I have 15 more eels to spare" crap.

Ivan Putski · 12-05-07, 03:42 PM

The type II is nice, but you sure as hell can`t go to America in her unless a type IX takes you along as a "Dingy." I`m cruising the waters off the North American East coast in mid 1942, I have had a lot of good encounters with both merchants, and warships. I`m in U-109 a type IXB boat out of Lorient, 2nd Flotilla. Over the long haul, finding a milch cow, and resupplying is great, I`ve seen my share of action in her.

We are on our way home at the present time, having sunk two vessels before leaving, and being caught on the surface by a destroyer, that put two rounds in us before we could crash dive. Repaired the damage, and was able to go deep, and evade her, running silent, and creeping along at 2kts. Love it. Puts

Well that's a wrap as I now removed SH3 GWX 1.3 no more for me. Until GWX 2.0 that is.

Deep-Six · 12-05-07, 11:10 PM

Ok, I have not play SHIII in awhile, (been playing CoD2 and 4). I will try to get back to going to New York. If the planes dont kill me first.

Last patrol report:

72k tons sunk. The best so far.

Too bad i done the mistake i am doing too often, using 4,yes 4 torpedoes on a two tankers that are already shelled by my with many shells to spare ...

12-06-07, 04:40 PM

Just back from a long stint in the pacific with the U.S navy and on my 3rd patrol in U-49 , a type VIIB - once I return to port I will be transfering to 2nd flottila and back into my beloved "Sea Cow"

.Atleast I'll be back in a more manouverable and deeper diving boat than a fleet boat

Where are you hitting the tankers? It shouldn't take that much... Unless you're using stock of course.
