How historical correct is this? Were there anyone docking one day, and leaving, say, the next day or two already?

Maybe you have look at a tool called "SH3Commander" It will you you a little more feeling and control about the stuff before and after a patrol... just watch out for it here on subsim.
You can find it on JScones web page :

That was what I was thinking about - the feeling of accomplishment when earning enough renown for a VIIB (or VIIC which I see they're offering now). I have only got 6 torps in total on my IID now, and my patrol is over pretty fast.

Yes SH3Commander is the answer. I nearly always start the war with a type II and use SH3Commander to be able to return to a port nearer than my home port. I often choose to return to Wilhelmhaven or Cuxhaven depending if I have been smashed up or not!! If I have not been damaged then the turn around time is only 1 day and I can be back on station within a few days. After three or four patrols I then normally return to my home port, Kiel, throught the Kiel canal.

Using SH3Commander you can return to any axis port as well as do other things. :up:

I installed SH3 Commander now. Returning to another base, and not Kiel, will not that only resupply me with new torps and fuel? It will not give me a new objective, right?

When you leave a port other than your home port using SH3Commander you are not asigned a new patrol square. Instead you can choose which area you would like to patrol. The only downside to this is that you are not awarded renown for patroling your asigned square becasue you have not been asigned one in the first place.

However you are rewarded for all the ships you sink.

You can use Sh3Patrol with Sh3Commander and assign yourself a new patrol grid so you can get the points.

What's missing in this thread is:

Stay out of shallow water!
Stay out of Der Kanal!
Stay out of ports!
Stay away from Edelphine, she's mine :cool:

Then I claim Scapa Flow and Loch Ewe!:stare:

HE can have New York.
