Checked my logbook, it was a 119400 ton trip

I'm sitting, like, quadruple Prien's total haul. What a scrub

Though, if you're having success, you'll make the historical aces look bad pretty fast :P

I had so many U-boat War Badges to give out, the game crapped itself a bit until I got under about a dozen.

This has probably already been said, but slow time compression (32x or less) seriously messes with crew endurance. Yes, people heal faster, but people tire incredibly fast. On the other hand, incredibly fast TC (like 512x, or 1024x) doesn't tire the crew at all - you can just show up at the scene with the people you've assigned, fresh and ready, if you use max boost. So, either book it, or use as little time-accel as possible (unless you really like micromanaging "Fritz Wagner, the petty officer" for some reason).

Also, watch your time compression around docks - the lag can be absurd, you can run into a boat, you can run into a minefield of net if you're not careful, etc.
