I have a claim for the 30,000 ton patrol, but I gotta work tonight and the patrol ain't over yet.  I'll try and finish it up tomorrow and post some screenies of the kill list.

Anyone know a good free webhost I can upload the pics too?

AN41 is right on the Liverpool-Murmansk convoy route. It's where I got both my 20,000+ partols.

The one I'm working on now, I've made most of my kills in the English Channel and the east coast of England around AN 52.

My copy arrived yesterday, and I went straight home to try it out.  I figured I would just dive right in without any namby-pamby tutorials and swore I wouldn't sleep until I had my first kill....

Later on, I decided that just getting out of Lorient with only minor damage to my boat was a significant accomplishment in itself.... (who's the &$#%-in' MORON who puts a concrete retaining wall smack dab in the middle of a harbor?!?  Bloomin' French!!!)

The game crashed on a crew swap 10 minutes later and I gave it up for the evening....

But aside from all that, I couldn't install the 1.2 patch.  Anyone else have the problem where the patch installer says it doesn't recognize a file version?  (In my case it was de_menus.txt or something similar.... That would seem to be the german version of the file, even though I chose 'English' when installing from my DVD.)

I'm hoping an un-install and re-install allows me to patch it tonight and that it takes care of the crash-thing....  (Program crash, not boat crash, that is....)

Alpha Dog is in the HOUSE!!!  (But he needs to go out...)

Yeah, Brest is just like that... and the first time I left from there for a patrol it was NIGHT!

Okay.. Manitoba gets the >30K, and Lara as well as soon as he posts his proof.

Shall we up it to 50k?


Has anyone even SEEN a warship larger than a destroyer yet?

Here's one for you:  It shrugged off two torpedo hits, but AP rounds in the same area of the ship were too much. ;D

Well.... I am going to claim the first to reach 50K.. what should the next be?

I sank 6 ships with my deck gun, then ran into a convoy with 3 tankers at the core. 1 Small merchant and a costal merchant with my tail tube, and that rounds out 11 ships for 59,951 tonnes  ;D
