Love your log SS. Your not the only one.

I just started writing events down myself. Anything i can do to increase realism!

Hey that was us in the sail boat! I remember now.

You were born too late, Steve :rotfl:

Nice idea Steve.

I like the immersion it brings to the game.

I recognize you, but we didn't see any girls. You must have been hiding them.

Took yer picture, though.

Where've you been anyway, you old sea dog? haven't seen you post in awhile.

I have been slamin the sea trying to make it to the end of the war in my own DID lose no crew and bring home tonnage. Right now I am into May '44, with original '39 crew sailing out of Bourdeaux. Tonnage is down now although I am wacking some RAF scouts (12 on this patrol) but with only a 24 tons so far. By tonight in real life, if alive, the boat will head home. Helga awaits. This is my 2nd DID and the last one I lost my boat in Jan.44 when I answered the phone and the game was not paused and I was creamed when RAF radar dedected my snorkle. (never agian). Overall tonnage is fairly high even playing conservative. I would have more abandon if I arrived in the middle of a 'wolfpack attack'. That would be a great sight and allow for some good tactics. But alone I find myself steeering clear of well armed picket boats on convoy satisfied to pick off singles and doubles - my goal is my crew's safety and the safety of my boat and making it to the end. Why? I do not know.

Well, since my SH1 days I have always simultaneous careers - one out of each available command. In that light here is the first patrol of Willi Burgel commanding U-101. Rather than play the 'sink the ships' scenario, I decided to turn it into a 'Transfer to Kiel' scenario.

Ok now figure out your knots per gallon.

What happened to the sail boats?

Edit Um, I meant kilometers per gallon. Knots is a measurement of speed like miles per hour. You can't have miles per hour per gallon.

Edit two. Or would it be kilometers per liter. I'm confused

'Transfer to Kiel' scenario. I like that. In my WW2 prop sims I often do the same! What is good about them I may pick up a radio message to another flight and head into the fray as a lone wolf, very cool to approach combat in progress. Many times I just make a delivery then choose to fly out of a different field. All about immersion and what floats your boat!
