My last career - spending the last 60% of it in U105 (started in 1939 in a VIIb, then VIIC, then IXB)

reality - U105 was sunk of Dakar, 2nd June 1943 by a "one-of-a-kind" French flying boat. She had 22 kills and some 123+K tons to her credit, plus one warship.

In game, we survived the war - 1.6+ million tons of shipping plus over 20 aircraft shot down (10 crew killed on patrol too, at one time or another).

I'm on a whole new career now, second patrol in a VIIB.

Cool thread,

Real: U-50 7th Floatilla 2 patrols, 4 ships sunk for a total of 16.089 GRT, Mined on 6 April, 1940 in the North Sea north of the Terschelling, exact position not known but probably near 51.14N, 05.07E. 44 dead (all hands lost).

Current Career: U-50 1st Floatilla, Presently on patrol 12 in the NA Late September 1940, 294kish total tonnage sunk, 1 WO flak gunner KIA, 1 WO flak gunner WIA. Closest death experience; Sea Huricane near Scapa Flow scored a direct hit on the stern of the boat; reducing Hull Int. to 33%. Best learning experience; Overshot an intercept on a mixed convoy and was in turn picked up by a Clemson Class DD, DC'd to 62% HI, slinked away, repaired, and reintercepted 2 days later. Toughest encounter; early 1940, heavy fog, heavy seas; shadowed a convoy and sunk 3 ships during no less then 4 intercept attempts lasting about 4 days in game terms. (Vis was less then 1000m for atleast 2 days).

Notes: Realism settings; generally only use event camera (although I wish I had had the external cam on the stormy night sortie). Mods: lots of eye candy and sounds, airpower HT, and HT. No RuB (yet).
