Tell Us What You Are Up To In Your Current Campaign
« on: September 25, 2011, 02:32:18 PM »
I'm playing a campaign on SH3 right now. My character Kurt Hossel has - using Chinese U-47's mod and playing as initially Admiral Scheer and later as Scharnhorst - sunk 181 ships for a grand total total of 607,024 tons, including the massacre of three convoys and a cruiser squadron.

1 Modern Tanker
17 Large Merchants
1 Medium Tanker
1 Ammunition Ship
7 Ore Carriers
1 Empire-type Freighter
11 Medium Cargo Ships
2 Intermediate Tankers
4 Nipiwan Park-type Tankers
13 Granville-type Freighters
8 Passenger / Cargo Ships
5 Small Freighters
4 Small Merchants
5 Tramp Steamers
3 Coastal Tankers
19 Coastal Freighters
2 Large Trawlers
2 Tugboats
1 Fishing Boat

1 Southampton-class CL
2 Auxiliary Cruisers
4 Tribal-class DDs
10 V/W-type DDs
5 J/K-type DDs
3 C/D-type DDs
11 A/B-type DDs
6 Black Swan-class Frigates
6 Armed Trawlers
11 ASW Trawlers
5 Elco-type Torpedo Boats
10 Motor Torpedo Boats

And it's only 18 February 1940.

I have just started first war mission for SHV in command of boat assigned at start. Am still in the Keil canal learning the new UI mod from DW and working up my boat and crew. I am determined to improve moral and establish confidence in them for myself as Kapitain, and in our fine boat. We have a long way to go but he is a good ship and my former commander left them in my charge. It is a fine moonlit night and what more could a sailor man wish for than a fine ship, a fine crew and sea room and water under his keel?  (Keil )  :)

Just had the best patrol of my career thus far...two enemy convoys obliterated and 28 ships sunk for another 134,568 tons added to my tally. My career tonnage total stands at a very impressive 1,422,538 tons. 2thup
