That is my last PATROL post for 2011
Have a Happy New Year!

@Von

You too mate, hope 2012 is a good one for you :salute:. Have to ask, your patrol reports are really nicely documented, doesn't seem like the usual commander thing :hmmm:

Best regards.

Be careful to use the correct format and the numeric sequence.
Make your changes and save.
Update your patrol logs with SH3 Commander again. Don't worry if the new entries don't show up in Commander.
Run SH3 without the commander and check your patrol report. It will all be there.
Good luck.

Returned to the game again after a few months break. Started new career from the beginning of the war using the latest realism mod (V16A3) and torpedo failure mod. Two combat patrols so far, the first one bringing a nice 22852 tons and the second one an amazing 62606 tons, largely due to the fact that I was able to use the deck gun during the whole patrol.

The torpedo failure mod works nicely, I had 5 failures out of 14 torpedoes, 1 (more likely) or 2 of them being misses and the rest malfunctions.
