I hate to say it but the U.S Navy sucks. Its 1942 and its my first patrol off the U.S coast. I allready met the historical aim of sinking the Jacob Jones. But then I went on to sink 4 more DDs and not a serous damage by depth charges in return, compressure and con tower thats all. But I did run into the Davy Crotet of the 4 incher. He gave me 8% damage. I said thank u by sinking him.

try that same task on 100% realism and you wont make it back. sounds like it was a fun patrol thow.

Yea it was. Later after I want back to it I ran into the USS Roper. He gave me heavy bow flooding, 1 dead sailer, and 1 dead petty ofcer, god bless there soles . My medic treated 2 injured sailers, so he got the Iron Cross 2nd class. I hade a Das Boot moment where I sat on the bottom franticley reparing the damage and stoping the hevy flooding, they did it not a moment to soon. The campartment was allmost full. I was out of high presser air so I clawed my way up to the surface and sailed home.

Hey bish, I'm in the Navy!!

Im talking about the 1941 navy and in the game.

From what I understand, if a German U-boat got into US waters in early WWII it would be like letting a fox lose in the hen house.
Nobody would expect it. Which raises the question...How did you get that far out with out milkcows?

I know man, it was a joke.

If one goes at a slow or very slow speed in one of the larger boats the range is very far...I think it is quite possible, but it will take a long time.

Eagerly awating RuB 1.43

The type IX U-Boat had the range to make it to the U.S coast. The first ship sunk in U.S waters was the 9,076t Cyclops on Januray 11 1942 100miles off Cape Cod. And a group of U-Boats spoted by a Army airplane moving on the surface was thought off as a group of fishing boats. Not untill a report of a "Large black submarine with long conning tower and gun forward"(basicly a IXC with a IXC/3 coning tower) was spoted moving South East. When it was spoted by the plane it submerged. For more info read Torpedo Junction.
