I haven't come that far in my career because of having to reinstall the game a few weeks ago because the GWX mod had partly stopped working when I enabled some optional mods (I found no warnings about my enabled mods in the GWX manual). I noticed this when leaving for my first patrol in a new career. I couldn't compress time more than 8x in the kiel canal (In Stock SH3 you can't compress time more than 8x when close to land :damn:).

Ok, back to what this thread is about... After re-installing the game I started a new career with the 1st Flotilla in 1939. I was on my 9th patrol still in my IIA boat having sunk only 1 ship in my career until then!:oops: Mainly because I had got patrol grids near neutral Norway some times. But I was on my 9th patrol, I was patrolling in AN55 when I spotted a huge convoy with only two escorts! I dived as soon as I saw the convoy. I rised my attack periscope and slowed the boat down to reduce the periscope wake. I targeted some of the ships, selected a salvo shot, checked where the escorts were and... WHAT?:o NO!! A huge Warship headed straight towards me! I dived to about 10m above the sea bed and rigged my boat for silent running. Dammit!:damn: All the warships were equipped with ASDIC. two hours later... I was lying at the bottom of the sea, still being attacked, still alive, but running out of air. I had to do something but, the warships would never stop dropping depth charges at me so I thought : Screw it, and I went for a crazy surfacing at ahead flank and surprisingly, the warships had trouble hitting me, but then, one of them hit me with their biggest gun and Hans Fischer went down with his boat :dead: R.I.P. Hans Fischer

Starting a new career today :)! One question though : Why won't your boat change number when changing from for example, a Type II to a Type VII? Is this a GWX bug or a SH3 bug?

U-552, patrol 6, report 2
 
Leutnant. z.s. Alfons Dietzmann
U-552, VIIC
11. Flotille, Bergen
Orders: Patrol BE33

Statusbericht 22.7.1943
0809 AM51 clear, visibility 15 – 16 kilometers, wind 15 m/s. No ships sighted or heard. Air traffic is heavy, just like U-505 has reported. Four contacts despite running submerged when possible. Metox warnings in grids AM33, AM26 and AM51. Night time from about 2300 to 0400 hours has been clean so far and we have been able to run surfaced at that time.

At 19.7. 0800 hours grid AM26 surfaced and was immediately strafed with heavy machine gun or 20 mm gun fire. In the confusion I ordered a crash dive. Afterwards I realised that in a situation like that my orders are to stay surfaced and fight the aircraft. There were leaks in aft torpedo room and aft rest areas. Conning tower was damaged. At 0802 an explosion heard while at a depth of 80 meters, but apparently that did not cause damage. The boat was repaired by 0939 hours and a test dive to depth of 150 meters was made.

I now start every surfacing by a periscope scan that starts looking straight up and only after that scanning the perimeter.

Hessler was mentioned by name in the news report, because he managed to sink a British battleship. Sadly, the radioman also intercepted a distress call from Fischer in grid AN55 and his type II must be presumed sunk now.

Sometimes even blind squirrel finds a nut
 
8th June 1942 Morning
-What's the visibility?- I ask Johann, my 1st WO.
-About 5 km...- Johann paused his sentence in the middle. I know what he wants to ask about, but I go down to command room.
-What's the repair status Chief?
-We need a yard- It's not the type of an answer I like to hear, but I'm not going to push. I Can't blame him. It's he's second patrol. We barely know each other, and I'm not quite trusting him. Maybe his predecessor could bring some sensor back to life? -We're unable to repair anything more. Structure damage is serious. We shouldn't go deeper than 25m- That makes my decision.
-Helm, set a course 185. Igor, take us here- I've pointed a place on map -What do you think?
-That's quite far from dangerous bay, and still there's very big chance to meet some lone merchant, travelling along the coast. We have a chance.

16:37 local time, same day
-ALAAAAAAARM!!!!!!!!- Jesus Christ what happened? I jumped into bridge. Heavy rain surprises me completely. Not more than 1 km visibility. Johann points me the threat: armed tugboat, 800m, bearing ~20, approximately 30 deg AOB, left bank.
-Flank ahead! Dive! Dive! Dive!- Our bow disappears under water when I hear first shot. I hold my breath, will he hit us? I feel that my boat is fragile like an eggshell. Another shot missed us, we just passed 13m, and I'm about to release the air from my chest, when I hear noise of Tugboat's propeller and her rattling diesel -Hard starboard!- Boat is lazily turning. Propeller sound is louder and louder. Somehow we avoid ramming, but there goes DC's. Explosions shakes my nerve. First one dandles us slightly, but second one reaches us.
-Port propeller destroyed! Major leakage in stern compartment!- Helm looks at me and it's a face of a murder. Before other explosions outworn I shout necessary commands:
-Chief, go there and check if you can help. After this check hull integrirty.
-Ay, ay Sir!- Boat is still turning, and we're doing 5kt, and if they have no ACDIC we should survive this. Clock ticking measures leaking time.
-All stop! What's the situation in stern compartment?
-We need more time Sir!
After some time I start hearing sound of propellers again. What's worse, boat starts loosing her trim.
-Helm, keep 15m!
-We need to move sir!- I'm waiting. Sound of propellers comes from larboard, estimate bearing 225~270. Sound of propellers are quite loud now, it's time.
-Rudder amidships, full ahead, maintain depth!
-Leakages in stern compartment sealed Sir!
-Good, now remove all the water, and lets get out of here- In the meantime Tugboat passes behind our stern. DC explosions shakes our boat, but that's all the effects. Without ASDIC they look not so scary.
-Rudder 5 deg larboard, silence run!- Now it's up to enemy's experience. Did they hear us? Boat is holding 13-14m depth. But there they go again. It seems that this time they came faster than before. I'm going to take a risk, and keep silence. Helm is looking at me again and his eyes are telling: "If you damage my boat again, I kill you by my bear hands". This time it seems, that boat dropped all available DC, because explosion is tremendous! But except damaging my ear drums, they only shakes our boat nervously and... That's all. After traumatic adventures couple nights before, this one looks almost like a joke. And finally it appears to be one. We're spending another day under water heading ENE. Let's go home. One hour after sunset I decided to surface the boat:
-Flank ahead!- And when boat reaches 6 kts -Blow ballast!- Boat is pointing nose up, and after a while we're breathing fresh air. Visibility about 5 km, no visible enemy. But something isn't right. Our speed is dropping down. 4 kts... 3 kts... 2 kts... -What's going on Chief?
-Looks like we completely lost port propeller, and we can recharge batteries only with stern engine sooo....
-Then stop recharging batteries immediately!
Situation is not good, 13 kts is all we have on flank ahead. Our standard speed drops down to 8 kts. 7-5 with rough see. That's not all the bad news. We have only one propeller working, but second engine is working anyway all the time without much sense, and I can't do anything with this. Bulls**t!
I set a course directly to Lorient. There's U-461 Milchkuh is on our way, but we need something more than fuel and greetings.
-Navigator, I need to know if we can reach Lorient with this fuel!
-I already did some calculations, there should be no problem Sir!
-Ok then, Johann- Weather report every 4 hour, I need some sleep.

Minutes seems like hours, hours seems like days, and days...

Weather is going worse. Wind at the beginning is steady, but after 8 hours starts turning right, and blows stronger, 15 m/s. After another 4 hour wind turns 90 deg, and visibility drops down to 1 km. Heavy rain. I decide to go under water. We still are blind there, maybe even more than on surface, but we all feel safer knowing, that any radar track us here. We're doing 200 rpm, and surfacing to check weather every 4 hours. After 16 hours rain stops, and we can continue our travel. Visibility 9 km makes me confident, and I order to load the batteries. We look stupid, both engines working, but we're not even slightly moving. I like to ask BDU about this, but we don't have even radio, to call help. Other part of journey isn't much better. Good weather holds only for two days. After this wind turns right, goes stronger and then comes the rain and bad visibility. Every part of boat seems to be damaged. Every single one, but one torpedo in stern tube, and reserve one. After 11 days we're right in the middle of our way home. Usually weather doesn't spoil us, wind turns, and visibility drops from 9 to 5 km, but this night is unique. 16 km visibility makes my good mood. I decide to spend couple hours on bridge. But there comes surprise:
-Merchant! Bearing 143- I grab binoculars immediately... Is it... God she's huge! ...
-Heeelm! Turn 90 starboard, flank ahead!- I grab binoculars again. There's no doubt, it's large two pipes ex-ocean liner converted to troop ship. Estimated course 80, estimated speed 14 kts. Very soon we find ourself in firing range.
-Hard larboard! Heading 350- And after half turn I ordered flank back! I can't wait when boat stops turning, and when it finally happens I drop down speed to slow back. Data set into TDC, shooting range 2500m. I'm shooting when second funnel enters crosshair. Impact pistol, 2m depth of run. Now there's no time to loose. -Flank ahead!- After a while torpedo reaches the target. I'm expecting searchlights, but apparently they have no such thing. Large ocean liner travels fast for some time, but he's loosing speed very fast. I'm preparing boat to repeat attack and finish them, but even before we can load last stern torpedo, giant stops completely. They stern is sinking fast. We overtake them easy to see last moments of our victim, and... To shoot photos. We can see evacuation of soldiers and crew. Some of them see us already, and is swimming in our direction. I can't allow that, we have direct orders. Besides, we have no room for prisoners. Only aircrews, they seem to have some special value for BDU.
Large ocean liner sunk very fast. From torpedo explosion to bottom of an ocean 5 min. Very soon there's only large number of rafts and dead bodies in the water. I seriously doubt if anyone of them survive until morning. It's terribly cold. -Flank ahead! Restore main course- After this patrol there's no sign of mercy in us, maybe later.

We're still long way from home. We're tired, but I can see a smile in crew faces.

- 0628 - Debated leaving the lone remaining intermediate tanker as it would be a long haul to overtake her, and the Americans must be sending help by now. Then I remembered the words of my old teacher... "SINK 'EM ALL!" ..."Suface the ship, ahead flank. We're going after her."
- 0827 - Sonar reports merchant contact along the tanker's last known course, but about 15% further along than estimated. Tankers speed now estimated at 11 knots. Going to be a long haul in these seas. We're barely making 13 knots ourselves.

DC45
25.11.42
- 1536 - Attacked Panamanian flagged intermediate tanker with a single T1. Impact at the bow. Ship sunk at 1604. An entire convoy destroyed, estimated at 64000 tons. No sign of allied assistance. Beautiful. Returning to DC87. Need to reload, all internal torpedos expended.

DC87
30.11.42

U-552, patrol 6, report 3
 
Leutnant. z.s. Alfons Dietzmann
U-552, VIIC
11. Flotille, Bergen
Orders: Patrol BE33

Statusbericht 22.7.1943
1738 AM54 cloudy, visibility 8 – 9 kilometers, wind 15 m/s. Two attacks against an inbound large convoy, 5 - 6 escorts. Easterly course, speed slow. No reliable estimate on the course. The first attack failed to get in shooting range because we didn't have a good enough estimate of the course of the convoy. On the second attack I failed to get close enough and decided to launch four torpedoes from a distance of maybe 4000 - 5000 meters, 15 seconds between launches. Rough seas and long range made rangefinding and targeting an individual ship impossible. Two of the torpedoes were FAT torpedoes and one of those hit a 12000 BRT freighter stopping it dead in water. When the escorts were gone I finished her with a FAT II torpedo, depth 10 meters, range 1000 meters.

Other boats have had both successes and losses. U-129 was sunk, U-39 critically damaged, but survived. U-93 had an excellent patrol and Oster got a desk job after wiping out a convoy. We continue our patrol, with four torpedoes loaded in the front and one in the aft tubes. With those we might be able to cause a lot of damage in a single attack, but we have lost the convoy and it is now on shallow waters.

Pat2,Rpt4, From R.Hessler U-65 (IXB)

Hessler has recently sunk the HMS Nelson. However, the latest news is that despite depth changes and running silent, and flank speed when in baffles of the enemy, he has yet to evade the three persuing enemy corvettes which are hitting back.

The enemy have been pounding U-65 for one hour solid now and no letup in sight.

The sub has sustained light damages during the attacks but have said that they appear to be winning the battle to escape.

More reports to follow soon....hopefully! :06:
