I'm on my first patrol in U-59, a type IIC in January 1940 using the Monsun mod and the OMEGU graphics package. I have to say, very nice mods for the wannabe U-boat skipper :)
I don't know if it's OM or SH4/Gold, but how come only 5 torpedoes??
I've managed to sink 3 Merchants with the help of my deck gun on the last one, but now I'm out there patrolling with no ammo awaiting further orders. Seems like such a waste of time!!
1) what do I do next?
2) do I just keep circling till my 48 hours is up?
3) will I get more torpedoes available for my next patrol?
Thanx! :)

Because you're in a Type II.
Small sub, only 250-300 tons, not much room for eels.

For more torpedoes you're going to need a bigger boat. - a Type VII or IX.

And no, there's really not much point staying out there with no eels.
Head back to the barn.
