That's exactly how I handle "converting" my start of war IXB to a IX(A).
As soon as I'm a safe distance from port, and other ships, I waste my 2 stern torpedoes, then reload the tubes. In this way all temptation is removed.

The additional benefit to this is that if all torpedoes are expended, and the boat is submerged, you are no longer considered a "hunter" for time compression purposes. This is nice at the end of a patrol when one does not wish to be locked in TC x1, because a merchant is passing.

I'm now in mid-Atlantic heading to my grid FC76.
not sure I make it home to Brest because I already had to go at flank speed to intercept a convoy.
but there's still one milk-cow left (U-488 in DF, I think). I'll go there but I pretend to get just as much fuel to reach home-base and only 2aale.
(maybe I shoot all the others I get into the ocean like Steve does ;))

That is your choice Kaleun...and one that many will share I suspect :yep:
