just scored my highest tonnage in GWX so far, 62523grt on only 4 ships!
one was a BB :rock::rock::rock: |
GWX3.0 GOLD 100% realism setting. 161169GRT. All ordinary cargo ships. Gotta admit, this is 1940. Had a previous GWX2.1 patrol @ 250,000 GRT (during Bismark operation), but that was with foresight of where I can find big game to hunt. (which is kinda cheating, I am getting out of that business). Had a patrol 2 careers ago at around 180,000 during second happy time when I met and sunk Aquitania sailing alone (but very fast) right in the middle of the Atlantic, and numerous fat tankers on their way from Caracas to New York.

This got to be a record, 130,000 a day!
Dig through a previous career. Captain Georg Jahn was hunting west of Gibraltar and hit 1 task force, 2 convoys and a lone cruiser in the same day... GWX3.0 Gold. 100%. Unfortunately, Captain Jahn's aggressive ways got him killed on August 1941. See his death card on http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...ht=jahn&page=6
