A Sad Day

Doolar · 07-27-24, 04:17 PM

It is with great sorrow that I report the loss of U-198, Kapt Herbert Winters and a crew of 54, by Air Craft, off the West Coast of Africa. (I didn't learn from Tonci87's experiences in the same area) Last heard from on March 15th 1943. 2 English bombers weren't detected until the last minute. A crash dive was ordered but my stern was exposed. We took major damage and continued to dive to 1000+ meters. DAMN !!!!! Had a lot of time wrapped up on that career.

If you will go around exposing your stern you will get what's coming to you.

After all these years I've been playing SH3, I should have been more careful especially with a Type IX Boat. This late in the war the Allies have improved. Got too close to Freetown, should have ran decks awash. Cloudy as it was .... radar can see. Type IX's are tuff to crash dive when fully surfaced

yeah, running deck awash is good idea, especially in risky area
