The famous Flying Dutchman

Have never seen one in game, although I suspect RSRDC has simply omitted it (and I haven't played other campaigns for quite a while).

Haha even with the ghost passengers! Creepy.. Great pics guys!

You would be correct.....Course you can always create a mission with the ME and use it, been awhile, but I think it's under the Dutch as a BB named "what is des"......Heck, you can create an entire fleet of them.

WELCOME ABOARD!

Yes, it's been posted many times in the last five years, but you're new and everybody's first time is special, so we forgive you.

Sorry. You'll find us friendly enough overall, but some of us can't help teasing sometimes.

Well, me anyway.

Dear Onkel Karl,

How are you? I am fine.

I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that after many months, I managed to sink a warship again - an obsolete V&W destroyer to be sure, but beggars can hardly be choosers.

The bad news? That it's taken me this long. So much so that I'm beginning to think that my first few months with "Walter" was simply down to pure dumb luck. Since then, I've wasted more eels than I care to remember.

Oh well, at least I still have my health.

Respectfully yours,
Eschem

Dear Onkel Karl,

How are you? I am fine.

Mother Nature - she's a funny old gal.

If I may be able to express an observation: I've noticed that next to the soldiers, scientists have been the busiest people in this war. Back in 1939 (such a long time ago it seems now!), our tactics and our strategies were reliant on where the sun sets, when the moon rises, how heavy the wind blows, how hard the rain comes down, how thick is the fog, etc., etc. Little by little, these scientists began chipping away at these age-old inconveniences. Now we can see and hear the enemy -and vice versa- without having to actually "see" or "hear". We now have newfangled inventions with funny names that do all that.

But every now and then, Mother Nature reveals herself in all her terrible glory, and there's nothing Man can do about it. Like during my last patrol. How else can I explain being able to sink a Dido and a Kent from less than 1000m, while on the surface, without being detected? In monsoon conditions, that's how.

Something tells me the final outcome will be decided less on what we do, and more on the favours of the gods.

There is one thing that both nature and the gods cannot help with, however, and that's to stop my penchant for wasting my eels. Seriously, I really need to work on target practice when I get back.

Respectfully yours,
Eschem

Dear Onkel Karl,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and good spirits.

First off, may I offer my congratulations on your appointment as President of Germany.
Secondly, may I also offer my eternal gratitude to you for having the courage to end the madness.

I received the news at sea, sailing north past the Fremantle latitude.

Suffice to say, I did all that I could only really do. I brought my boys home.
And it is only because of them, that I can write these words to you: Ich lebe.

Who knows, we might even live long enough to cross each other's paths again.

Best Wishes,
Eschem

That's an awesome picture comparison.

Was that planned or incidental? Either way, it's still very cool.
