DID is what we use to describe 'Dead Is Dead' meaning if you should get sunk at sea that career is over meaning you dont reload the game to try and offset the unfortunate event.
Sounds to me like you already implement DID into your careers,good job
Thanks for contributing

I see. I´m too old to use "save bug" anyway.
I always thought DID was some cool secret destroyer mod. No wonder searching the forum turned out to reveal nothing.

No. I think it was number 20 give or take a few. I had plenty of time to game last winter when recovering from knee operation.

I cant find my patrol notes for those careers,all I can remember is that career 1 ended after a foolish attempt through the channel,I was spotted by a French warship who then called for assistance and 2 further British destroyers were spotted coming out of Southampton somewhere,I was then pushed under for a good 2 hours and was unable to slip through due to the depth of the water,the UBoat was finally sunk after a severe depth charging to the tower and most of the deck eventually destroying it and the crew.
Career 2 ended from a seemingly corrupt save file,I tried loading the game but it wouldnt recognize the data
You may be able to see some details if you look through the thread 'Tell us what you are upto in your current campaign' ,there may be some posts from me using the career of a Kurt Neulinger who happened to sink just under 50.000 GRT after 2 patrols.

Cheers.
