Summary
There is nothing to say that any > Eprobungstelle Testing Mission has to be done at all, or you actually need to sink any ship or ships either.
It really only affects your > Renown and Crew Bonus points.
It does however give you the opportunity to practice and get used to your boat even if you go to the attack point but do not sink the ships.
I never really understood why you would be ordered to attack at 9 knots against a stationery target.
For an ideal attack procedure you would want to be stationery which would give you a better degree of accuracy.
Sinking the 2 Targets adds to your tally of sinking’s which is not to everyone’s taste, as it gives a false account on your Career each time a > Eprobungsstelle Test Mission is done.

Alternative Abort Option!
When at Picture 2.
Press > Esc key.
Select > Exit Patrol.
Click on > DOCK AT Stralsund.

Consequences.
1 Bonus point given to each Crew member.
No medals.
No promotions etc.
No additional Bonus Points available to the Crew as ships were not sunk.

Game Note.
If you wish to use the > DF Antenna.
Shift + V > Raise
CTRL + V > Lower

Making Further Changes To The HSIE Optional).
 
Making Further Changes To The HSIE Optional).

Making changes here will make you game more difficult.

Making Further Changes To The HSIE is an > Option Only and > Not Compulsory.

Any further changes that are made to the HSIE will increase the difficulty level of your game.
It is important to refer to the HSIE Manual so you understand what each patch does.
Remember to disable the HSIE Mod/Patch in JSGME first before making any changes to it.

Picture 1 > Is a reminder of the default settings in the HSIE.

Note 1. Additional information on the Oxygen Fix patch.
The Oxygen Fix patch I have enabled is interesting as it limits the amount of > Oxygen Supply that is in the boat when submerged.
When the natural air in the boat gets down to 17% the Crew then have to use > Pressurized Oxygen from bottles.
O2 is broken into 2 parts.
Part 1 > Renewable O2 that is replenished when the U-Boat surfaces.
Part 2 > Non Renewable O2 from Pressurized Oxygen bottles. The 2 Oxygen sliders have been adjusted for use with the > O2 Oxygen Fix patch.
Oxygen In Boat > 2.0 (Stiebler's recommendation)
Compressed Oxygen > 2.5 (Stiebler's recommendation)

Note 2. Oxygen levels in the U-boat.
When submerged the Oxygen level starts at 21% until it falls to 17% when Pressurized Oxygen is taken from Bottles.
This Oxygen cannot be replaced until you Dock again.
