Sometimes it's easy to forget the Allies weren't the only one with radar

In my patrol I have tracked a convoy. My radar is showing red bearing lines which I have used to do an end around on the convoy. I got into postition and torpedoed three freighters, only to get a CTD. I have had three CTD's on this one convoy!

Could be a problem with one of the ships in the congoy

I just got my radar as well. Here's hoping that I don't catch any CTDs. Hmm... Yeah, that sounds kinda bad with that particular acronym.

I wouldn't fret just yet about CTD's. I've had a number of them or lockups since I got this new rig. I suspect I may have a bad RAM module. If so, it'll be under warranty. I just have to wrap up my game and do some in depth testing.

The new radar has been working well for me. I've been able to use it to track convoys, but it does get exasperating getting the ship sighted call every couple of seconds. I think I'll install the mod that gets rid of that. Radar detector has been working fine as well. My latest patrol zone south of Iceland seems to be swarming with aircraft. Fortunately I have been able to dive away, but once I got caught and bombed while I was still close to the surface. I had a bunch of areas damaged but soon patched them up. I have the longer repair time mod installed; it sure gets rid of the game's arcadish damage model.
