Paulie76: Sounds like U-23's previous CO had an affinity for Russian vodka and dubious naughty situations. After ramming a wharf and giving an excuse like, "It just jumped out at me", I'm willing to bet he's going to feel right at home once August 1941 rolls around and he's reassigned. :haha:

You should search a "hunting ground" an Area where a lot of ships are. :O:

It's all part of the master plan to make us the best informed fleet in the world... :O:

Good news is, (if you're running GWX), you can cut the chatter down to the bare essentials with this little mod:

Comes in handy when you get tired of all the constant interruptions! :sunny:

Good read.

Dear Uncle Karl,

It's all becoming a blur at this point. :yawn:

Endless waiting, sinking lone ships, endless waiting, diving from enemy aircraft, endless waiting, bumping into convoys, failing to sink anything and diving from enemy warships, endless waiting... :yawn:

Any idea when the war's gonna end?

Good to have you back...

It may be umpteen times later, but there's still roses out there to smell. :O:

Have fun and good hunting! :sunny:

Eschem Schnuz's Letters, 29th Flotilla
 

Dear Uncle Karl,

Please convey my gratitude and thanks to Herr Tikigod and his package of pin-up posters. They were very... ahem, "uplifting". :O:

Also, give my regards to the boys at U-96 from Bavaria Studios. Fun lot, that bunch. :D

Very useful, those G7es eels. Actually managed to incapacitate a Liberty cargo 10 minutes after I dove to escape a convoy.
