Doenitz Elite Flotilla - [GENERAL]-Talk That Does Not Fit Elsewhere

[lederhosen]

Well before I was in a Flotilla, I would eventually always gave up playing.
I found the Patrols to become meaningless.

I find the missions, although not in "sinc" with each other, in a Flotilla better.
Here I have a feeling that I belong to something bigger that the Sim itself. Now I have a real BdU Kommand
that gives orders and I play them out to the end. I actually can't wait for the next orders to be given.

Although Flotilla life is still some what lonely when compaired to a flight Sim squad, it gives me a feeling of belonging to
a group of other like minded players who enjoy the hunting and sinking of virtual tonnage.
And to be honest its not toooo demanding to put in 2-3hrs  a week into the Flotilla life.

Happy retirement (sorry for the late response)

[desertstriker]

It feels much more dynamic.

Finished by audio book version of Philip Kaplan's Grey Wolves. Overall it was a good book to begin researching the Ubootwaffe. It goes back to the WW1 days and the sinking of the Lusitania which was some interesting back story. I enjoyed the chapters that explained how Doenitz managed the patrols, the routine of the crew and how the allied campaign began to close the advantages of the U-Boote. What I did not care for was a few chapters going into great detail about Allied patrols. I felt the time could have spent telling the stories of U-Boot crews on patrol or even before they went.

That being said, it was worth a listen. I would recommend the book to any newer U-Boot enthusiast. Now, onto Iron Coffins and Das Boot!

Hey Blitz,have you begun with the code yet?
I know Keitzer has delayed this with his absence, but how about this:

Divide the entire war in periods of quarters.
That makes 23 patrol-periods exactly!

4 months in 1939
12 each in 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943 and 1944
and 5 in 1945

PM could not be sent to 'Rick Fortens' as their inbox is full!

You really seem to pile up mails, buddy. This is why I cannot send you a PM!

What I wanted to send you is nothing big or private, I wrote:

Hey Rick!
I thank you that you did this nice signature for me.
But it needs an update.

Can you please replace the text with...

A BL!TZKR!EG-TEAM-MEMBER

?

I am trying to help Blitz because I can also see that most members have delayed this matter almost endlessly - to an incredible extent that the whole matter must be rushed now.

Some members like bstanko or KingOfNothing22 should really ask themselves if their snail speed is really Elite or why they never bother about anything that is discussed on the forum. I can totally agree and see why Blitz is so angry. The WAC-desaster, lame slowpokes here and only 40% of the members actually do something to help out - the rest does somehow not even consider to take part in the forum...

Do we need a solution for EUR-paying members? Try this then: paypal.me/DELITEF

[REV_BL!TZKR!EG]

So please Desert Rose, my proud secretary:
Please send the remaining DEF-money (should be like 60-70 bucks) to TheShark.

Thanks.

Until further notice we will continue with our old server.

HP wrote he will spend the remaining money (65-70 or so) for retaining it.

I had an idea for a project.  DEF themes available to DEF members for TeamSpeak 3. We would need someone to do graphics at the very least.  I can handle the audio part for notifications.

2,5 months later...

I have my doubts whether AK has read this thread at all.

I read this months ago.  What?  You want a medal or something? 

[REV_BL!TZKR!EG]

ANY reaction at all would have been okay.

[Alfred Keitzer]

ANY reaction at all would have been okay.

Yes, it was quite a reaction, but I was probably drunk at the time. 

[REV_TheShark]

Keeping only those I need.

I would think that is the only reason. Why would someone collect 250 mails?

[REV_TheShark]

Nice!
Is this the one you are talking about? ImageBatch.org?

[REV_BL!TZKR!EG]

I have nothing against it.
But when I brought this up on tonight's TS3-session it turned out that nocken seems to be "aggressively-adversed" to trying it.

My opinion is that we should recommend this tool for the reasons that AK mentioned.

Very nice story! And so beautiful pictures again!
Do you use PShop or anything like that?
Looks fantastic!

Nothing special -- I just use "Microsoft Office Picture Manager" to auto correct the brightness, contrast and sometimes to crop the image; and use "ImageBatch" to resize to 800 pixel width and convert from BMP to JPG. That's it.
