wowie! i just finished (in 2 days - ihad to save) a single mission of "happy times" and unbelievably i sunk
-Medium Cargo = 4,942 tons
-Axiliary Cruiser = 13,850 tons
-Large Tanker = 10,359 tons
-Medium Cargo = 4,888 tons
-Medium Tanker = 7,150 tons
and finally after what must have been 6-7 hours the
-Troop Transpot = 10,126 tons
which comes to a staggering 51,315 tons :sunny: for one patrol/mission!
this mission (for me) is such a success because although the HUGE convoy was only LIGHTLY protected, the destroyers WERE there.:damn: and a trawler or two.:shifty: those guys are hunters therefore i didnt even TRY to shoot any down (they're way too fast) but the FLUKE as i said was that although i WAS hunted, nearly all the depth charges missed me!:smug: a couple messed up my attack scope & destroyed my flak guns but wtf would i need 'em for? right?
i used up ALL of my torpedoes. then at night, when the destroyers left for some reason i stayed near the $%@~! T.Transport that refused to sink. i came up, took the top reserves inside (for 9 min) and then put them into the T.Transport. i still VEEEEEERY slowly filled up w/water. so i came up and blasted it with the deck gun maybe 7 times. then i saw a trawler (this was still night) and desided to exit with spectacular results!!!:arrgh!:
thnx - plz post ur flukes/huge successes!

Congratulations...you sound mighty pleased :up:

What mod/s are you using if any and what realism setting?

well, I M pleased, thnk u!:up: my best patrol yet. probably a fluke

i M using the GW supermod (that's why the T.Transport took soooooooooo looooooong to sink) but realism is about 50% due to the officer for TDC (i M the capitaen and thefore too important for such matters, right?) but everything else, like dud torps, limited fuel, ammo, vulnerability is on.:smug:

Concratulations for successful patrol, Crawlerz, especially that Auxiliary Cruiser.

I'm not in a port right now and I can't remember what was my best patrol. I'm using Grey Wolves, 85% difficulty.

Out of Torpedoes, light damage from one of the escort corvettes, returning to port.
