82000 BRT,winter 1940 with my U-48.Sunk 12 ships from the total number of 15 in the convoy.First I sunk two eskorts and then surface attacks against the rest + the deck gun inferno...Played the whole attack in real time....from 00:00 till 5:30am:rock: :arrgh!: :lurk:

120,000 GWT in 60% realism in GWX 1.02

I was in the area around Curacao and Cuba in December 1941 with a IXC. I was lucky to encounter loads of Tankers. The weather was good enough to use the deck gun so a few ships went down that way. The whole patrol lasted 82 days.

always :arrgh!:
my torpedo's are for emergency's

What about when the weather stinks? What do you do then? Throw Bernard?
:rotfl::rotfl:

why you think i have a lugher ? as toy ?
i force my crew on the deck gun till i say the weather is bad :arrgh!:

No really how do you use the flack and the DG in bad weather? :hmm: Alter the CFG files?:hmm:
And the AA shouuld be exemt from the bad weather rule as the amount of times I've being stuck without my Zweilling 20mm with a sundrland swooping down for the kill, grrrrr........ :x

Have just completed my first patrol in SH3. Sunk just under 47,000 tons (9 ships). 5 of them were small merchants which I encountered here and there on my way to patrol. I suppose I should save my torps for something bigger.

Congratulations anyway,it's a nice score:up:

I think that you were historically accurate. Real life captains didn't hold off on the fish in hopes of finding something bigger. If they came across a 2000 tonner, they sunk it. They didn't let it go by so that they would have torpedoes left over to sink bigger ships.

Most I ever got in one patrol was about 90k, in a type XXI in '45.

well... i used SH3 weather thingy... recently i said "this is getting boring" couse i wanted a storm again... so i rann the game whitout SH3 weather and i had a storm... for 2 months :huh:

Crikey... i dont know how you guys get such massive numbers, my best was 26,000 in a single patrol, i guess it doesnt help that 90% of the torpedos i fire are duds and explode before hittiing anything:down:

got lucky. 143,000 tons. a large tanker convoy first then got the rodney with more tankers. admittedly it was 1940.the escorts were just running around in circles. i am now approaching 1943.any convoy now is hard.

Just sunk 69,000 tons. My biggest to date. Found a jucy convoy and sunk every ship possible except for neutrals.

Typicall I'll strap a scuttling charge to him and throw him off the bridge on the enemy ship's deck. If he falls in, I've taught him to hold on to the keep and wait... of course, we don't really care when he dies, we typically gather up the pieces and set course for Antarctica. I'VE GOT CARDS WITH THE PENGUINS TONIGHT!:rock:
