As it happens, I changed patrol grid and went 1000k off the coast of Ireland.
This was after checking the shipping sharts. No sooner as I arrived and started searching i came across a warship group.
Did a real qucik 90 and sent a salvo forward and managed to sink a 1100 ton warship.
Quick as a flash, I crashed dived and did and an about turn and rigged for silent running at 150m and escaped.. yippee.
Yes i have been checking with the engineer/navigator about max range against different speeds.
