New career
Hi Kaleuns.
Just reformatted my rig and thought what the hey, I'll start from afresh! So here is my albeit short career so far.......... I'm with the 7th/13th Flotilla sailing from Konigsberg. My first patrol was needless to say uneventfull, but I managed to give the crew a thorough shakedown in preperation for hostilities should they come. Second patrol sailed from Konigsberg, August 22nd, '39 12:24. Mission orders were merely a repeat of my first patrol. After reaching my patrol grid and completing my mission orders, I thought I'd sail clear of the bay and explore the local waters. After several days at sea, practising crash dives, vessel recognition etc. The radio started to crackle into action. Action being the operative word ! Hostilities with Poland had begun. My orders to my new crew.......... Make for Danzig! I have to report the crew of U-47 performed beyond my expectations, see my patrol report below.......... http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/l.../Patrollog.jpg Returned to Konigsberg September 2nd 1939, BDU informed me I had been awarded the Iron Cross 2nd Class. Not a bad way to enter hostilities. My crew are eagerly awaiting the next patrol. Stocking up on eels and provisions, we head out again shortly. :arrgh!: Best regards. Fubar2Niner |

31 May 1940:
Goeben departs on another raiding mission. Intended to head into Dunkirk to see what mischief we could cause there, but after receiving message of a convoy in our vicinity, decided to try our luck with that. Results: Returned to port 3 June 1940 to replenish ammo, having sunk 15 ships (the entire convoy we decided to go intercept instead of visiting Dunkirk) for 53,678 tons. Would have go on to Dunkirk but we'd expended all ammo for the starboard secondary guns, and the main guns were running low on ammo as well. Time to reload! 1 Large Merchant 1 Empire-type Freighter 4 Granville-type Freighters 2 Passenger/Cargo Ships 1 Small Freighter 3 Coastal Freighters 3 J/K-class DDs |

Well, that was that. A CTD is one thing - a TCC a totally different thing. Saved missions, modifications, upgrades, JoneSoft - all gone. Do I want to start up again? Maybe I should wait till I get a new computer - mine is 8 years old, even if with a few upgrades. I do need some better capacity to run the movies made in the mission creator, too. I'll have to see - for now I am comforting myself with a simple mission around Malta - without any trimmings. |
Kapitänleutnant Horst Luddecke was killed on his 9th patrol today (12Jul1940) while attacking a convoy in grid BE98. All hands aboard U-101 were lost.
Somehow i've missed a V&W escort coming at me from behind. I took heavy damage to the conning tower as soon as we collided & the following depth charges must have landed right on top of me. In my dying seconds i saw the V&W had also taken heavy damage but i suffered heavy flooding in almost all compartments & it was over before i could blink my eyes again. At least i did manage to hurt the convoy in two previous attacks on it. I've just returned to SHIII after a few years and have been working my way up again from a Type II & did my last 3 patrols in a Type VII. I suppose i shouldn't be too unhappy with my first career but still.... :nope: |
That´s the reason why i first attack and sink the escorts. After that i surface and sink the convoys with the deck gun. It´s funny with the 10,5 of my type IXb :yeah:
Greets Paul PS: In correct German it is "Den .... wenn ich bitten darf." Playing SHIII with Living Silent Hunter 5.1 @ 88% realismus on Intel Core2Quad 2,83Ghz, Ati 4890, 4GB Ram, Windows Vista HP 64Bit Sonar pettyofficer on S190, S196 and S183 http://www.lsh3.com/public/banner/lsh3_player.gif |
I know that routine from way before there were any mods & i just had the game :D
Now that i've returned to GWX again going deck gun to deck gun with the escort screen is a bad idea :dead: & i'd rather spend my torpedoes on some heavier tonnage. Anyway my second career since dusting off SHIII is now underway again with a VIIIC & already i've had some succes during operation Juno. As for the signature ( loved the moment it was used in the movie ) guess i shouldn't have trusted the Internet for the actual print :rotfl2: Plus, my German is ok but certainly isn't good enough to pick out the finer mistakes. |

Back to topic: I always search for convoys and than i attack the escorts submerged. In the first view years that´s easy. Later it becomes harder :) But it´s no problem for a ex-submariner :yeah: Playing SHIII with Living Silent Hunter 5.1 @ 88% realismus on Intel Core2Quad 2,83Ghz, Ati 4890, 4GB Ram, Windows Vista HP 64Bit Sonar pettyofficer on S190, S196 and S183 http://www.lsh3.com/public/banner/lsh3_player.gif |
Your school English looks pretty decent i'd say, no worries there mate :yeah:
Early in the war i usually leave the escorts alone (unless there's 1 or maybe 2) as i like the idea of sneaking in, doing damage & leave everyone wondering where i've gone to next. Late war i'll maybe try & open up a gap by taking out 2 escorts with acoustic torpedoes. That usually leaves me with some more room on my next approach :D With my previous career i was stuck right in the middle of the convoy & the escort that nailed me was hidden from my sight & sonar behind other merchants until he came rushing at me. Anyway after not having played SHIII for 3 or 4 years at least i can say i'm not that rusty. Plus there's some better eye candy available now too. Right now i'm loving the diesel room from the interior mod :rock: |
