So im riding around Africa from spain after docking with another ship at a neutral base ive got no orders so I say to myself heck why don't I go raid Freedom town. On my way I picked up a "Large" convoy. Took out 1 large cargo 1 medium merchant evaded and escaped then attack the same convoy after repositioning. This time I got 2 large cargo ships. I wasn't disturbed until I reached freedom town. After dodging the sub net and the DD patrolling the area (there was also a flower corvette... somewhere) I entered the dock and set myself up. 3 torpedo's to the 24K tonne pax liner 2 torpedo's to the medium tanker 1 torpedo to a medium merchant. All were destroyed minus medium merchant who was heavily damaged. 2 torpedoes went off to the large tanker with a sink. On my way out I fired another back torp into the heavily damaged medium merchant and took him out. Ran out of internal torps after heavily damaging another medium merchant :shifty:. Was left on 94 tonnes way more then I expected I was planning on getting about 60 tonnes originally. So I couldn't pass it up I sailed up to gib I still had all my cannon rounds and 2 torpedoes which I loaded into the back externally. Sunk 1 small merchant with cannon then took out a Large Cargo with my last 2 torps getting me to 104K tons. Also on my patrol I sunk a flower corvette with the convoy which was floating in the air kind of about 30 cm of its keel were in the water and it couldn't move. Anyone else experienced this glitch?

Anyway I did this while taking pictures of my adventures I snapped about 10 on this patrol ill save that for the U-105 (IXB im currently using) and U-46 or 48...VIIB (forgot which number) that was my old sub. I don't think ive got any screenshots of the IIA though...

Anyway heres the evidence. No SH3 commander but I am using GWX... possibly being still kinda newbish to SH3 100K might not look like much to others but gee it sure has me happy :D . Oh and how do I prove realism level is up to par I don't think its in the screenshots.

One would think the renown would be a bit more for that tonnage:hmm:

I think its pretty much just luck the only skill involved is setting up for the convoy as long as you can get by the basics you can make it. Oh and hint hint if your in a IXB raid freedom town just watch the sub nets come in close to the coast then get in through the east entrance do this on getting out. Go submerged and if your using GWX watch it you will hit the bottom at 15m so order for about 12m or 13m if its bad weather but heck if you dont have much patience and want to do it in bad weather you can attempt to go as low as possible. You will find 1 24K liner and 1 15K tanker with a 7 or so K tanker behind that. This is if you are GWX'ing. Anyway it was total luck that I hit the convoy on my way there or I would have got as expected about 70K tonns. Its also a good idea to dock with another ship before the patrol so you don't have any assigned grid.
