Just want to add that the most of the ships sunk during WWII were sailing alone...

My campaign....I am utterly in love with the Type IX. And I'm slowly perfecting raiding ports with them. Pick off the defenders, move in under cover of darkness.
So far I've raided Key West and Scapa. I'm not on high difficulty, so this may be how it is possible. Either that or the Royal Navy just think the idea is silly so they weren't looking for me. The sad part being I got into Scapa, after great effort and lots of nail-biting...and only find a light cruiser. I'll admit, the Type IX is not a great harbour raider (I do love the Type II for it...just wish she came with more torpedoes.) but the more I upgrade it, the more daring things I can pull off. It has the range, the firepower, and now with upgrades, the speed. The Type XXI is going to have to be utterly amazing to displace the Type IX in my heart. I admit, this is my first-ever campaign. Took me forever to get SHIII (and it's a Steam one, so only basic version) but I'm falling for this game hard. |

Just finished my first campaign today.
After his duty at the front, Wilhelm Hanke became the commander of the 24th Flotilla in Memel. This was the training Flotilla for future Commanders-to-be. After the war Wilhelm Hanke spent three months in British captivity. In July 1956 he joined the newly formed German navy (Bundesmarine). In 1960 at Charleston, South Carolina he commissioned the destroyer Z-6, the former US destroyer USS Charles Ausburne. In March 1963 he became commander of the 3. Zerstörer- geschwader (3rd Destroyer Squadron). Before he retired in 1970, he spent his last five years as garrison chief of Hamburg. Rank:Oberleutnant Iron cross 1st and 2nd class. Tonnage sunk:145774

I plan to go all the way through the war starting from '39 this time.
Current U-Boat U-52 February 12, 1940 Just finished our third patrol lasting 23 days now docking at Wilhelmshaven. This was our longest patrol with a total tonnage of 44000. Our given orders were to patrol CG79, but we sank more ships on the way than we could ever imagine, and ran out of torpedoes by the time we were some where near France or Ireland.

Patrol number: 13
Uboot: U-123 Year: 1944-45 (task force attack in 45) Realism: 100% max TC used: 128 Tonnage: 38228 Aircrafts:0 Days at sea: 14 had a chance to attack convoys, but when I went to attack a ship and I needed to go deep, the dive planes gave out like those of U-96. We managed to blow ballasts. Then level off, but we knew we could not attack a convoy. On the return trip we ran into a task force, and thankfully I had a few homing torpedoes loaded, they did alright and in the end saved us. with one destroyer left we snuck off, but at what cost. We could have lost the ship in this attack. Command is getting to hopeful of a turn around and risked one of our only XXI boats to attack a task force, but luckily we made it out. |

U-48 is at KM Grid CG 86.
June 6, 1940. 8th War patrol. Lots of bad weather getting to my assigned patrol grid which was DJ 13. Only 7300GRT for four weeks at sea. Weather has improved, hoping for a good score.
