GWX actually decreases the damage a hit with the deck gun gives by around 50% over stock SH3. Taken from the GWX website accessible from the link in my sig.

I admitt that I do use the extra ammo mod. I figure that the captain, Me, would do everything in his power to get the most ammo on board. I kind of imagine my crew stealing it, poker games, and other "McHales Navy" tactics to procure the goods. If any one here has missing ammo from their stock...uh....it's in the depot.
Now I'm on my way to Bermuda. |

Tonight's report 16th Nov 1942 Day 11 01:12 surfaced to reload tubes after previous attack. finally in position in patrol zone. 01:51 radar signals detected! aircraft incoming! immediately dived,bomb glanced us damage report flak 2 damaged minor damage to foredeck 01:54 attack ends. will need to carefully monitor how much time we spend on the surface now,this seems to be a more dangerous area than the bay of biscay at the moment!. current range from Rekyavik - 660km 02:30 surfaced for repairs repairs complete almost recharged 03:00 submerged to patrol depth will leave area after patrol expires , then proceed to patrol 2 in the Denmark Strait. en route to PZ2 we will run 1 hr at 7m and 1 hr submerged in the day,and make a full surface run at night to recharge. 07:00 Patrol 1 complete 08:45 proceeding to PZ2 first 7m sf run at 09:00 19:00 daylight runs passed without incident surfaced for night surface run proper recharging 17th Nov Day 12 last 5 hrs passed without incident 01:30 radar signals incoming! ALARRRRRRRRRRM!! no sooner had I bellowed out the command the bomb caught us at about 15m sending my UBoat into a fierce roll! plunged into the depths as fast as we could,levelled off at 50m damage report both flaks destroyed serious damage to the watch tower radio antenna destroyed serious damage to the forward deck carrying out hull test,dive set for 200m 01:43 dive successful,no damage to pressure hull list of changes to now be implemented due to the last events daylight daylight must now be used to try and counter allied radar which has increased significantly recently. we stand a better chance of evading radar if we can spot the planes further out on a clear day,but to dive as standard during even the slightest cloud cover. night time protection is now officially at an end. recharging to be carried out in daylight. damage to be repaired only in daylight. night time this is now the critical time. as we were running 1hr at 7m and 1hr smd during daylight it must now be done at night. both engines to be used at night,strictly no recharging whatsoever. *if we sustain another hit like the previous one then we will have to turn back for base.better than losing everything to a rush of blood. 03:00 1st hour of 7m sf run end of report .................................................. ................................................ As you can see,a lot to think about :nope: For the moment the loss of my guns and radio antenna is not as bad as it sounds,I rarely use both,and the loss of the radio antenna just means we have no contact with base,which doesnt neccessarily mean we should turn back.As they will assume us lost in about a weeks time we hope to give them a nice surprise sometime in the new year of 1943. We shall see. |
U-108 back in Wilhelmshafen Sept. 21st. A long patrol. Actually two as the Lorient-Wilhelmshafen stretch counts as Patrol 11.
Yes, we dared. Unfortunately enough HMS Hood got away - she limped away over the horizon with two T1 magnetics under her belly - escorted by, among others, 3 Southamptons. Rodney and Nelson did not pass. They joined the Revenge which was disposed of earlier on this patrol. Not with the deck gun. So, here is the score: http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...trolReport.jpg |
ET41 28 march 1941
Received a radio report of a big convoy headed north west... ahead full to intercept. |
Leandros,
I am sorry to bother you about this,but can you just tell me what version you play the game in,some of the major mods you use,realism settings,and of course the date you are currently playing? The only reason I am asking is because of those titanic tonnage scores (compared to the measly 5000 tonnes or so in my current patrol) you present,not to mention the apparent relative ease you are dispatching major British warships :o I am not discriminating you my friend,but in real life no single UBoat,in fact no ship (except the Bismarck,man for man) could challenge the might of British warships with such relative ease or comfort,unless they had serious issues upstairs :88);) The only time British (English to be exact) warships ever faced such a problem against other warships was against the Spanish armada,and even then they got wasted in the end. The most I ever sunk EVER in one patrol was no more than 30.000 tonnes if I remember,and only ever 2 destroyers. Thankyou. |

Or is there a remote control from below deck...? |

You clearly are a bull at sea,taking the fight to the enemy head on.Prien would be proud no doubt. I see myself as a meticulous hunter...much like a snake carefully observing its prey,holding its life in the balance until the time to strike arrives.If the prey is too strong then the hunter retreats,only to come back with stronger venom next time.There is a lot to be learnt from close calls and disasters,how else are we to learn? :know: :salute: |

isn't the all weather gun actually "cheat"? :hmmm:
Just failed an attack on a convoy due very stormy weather...:down: This convoy is really escorted... 6 DDs, some of them with radars; and the night is coming. Asking to myself if it's better to continue or let it go. |
