around 230000 but 100% realism(and GW installed) now it is decembar 1940

230k...6 x Nelson?

My best in a VIIB/41, 100% with man targetting was 58k/14 = 4128

So I got about a medium cargo on average for each torp.

In the early war - 39 I was patrolling around scapa flow, and I actually had to return with 4 torpedoes before my fuel ran out. It was pathetic...

U mean tonnage in 1 single patrol,eh? :damn: :damn:

i missed that...around 50000 when i was lucky to get passenger liner and after that so unlucky to have 6 Duds in a row :damn:

Har - i see. Yea - sometimes the worm turns - you get lucky on some salvoes and you lose it on others. I attacked a convoy once with a salvo of T2s and they were all duds/misses. I left the area undetected and lined up for an other attack - no one knew anything had happened :doh:

Question - do merchants/DDs hear the torpedo explode when it finally sinks? You can hear it in the sub, and that's when your WE says 'torpedo missed'. I'm wondering if DDs will pick up on the sound and start looking for you. I don't know if that's ever happened for me (usually they've detected me some other way)

Had my highest ever the other day. ~60% realism, mid-'42, VIIC, 178,000 tons in a patrol that lasted under a month!

All tankers, mostly T2s, a hand full of T3s and two small tankers. I resolved just to sink ships with =>T2's displacement but my fuel - and patience - were running out. Lots of planes downed too. Caught my first sighting of a battleship, the King George. Was too far away to engage and moving too fast to catch. I'll get 'em in the next career. :)

GWX 37,000 GRT 100% realism (IMO if you play with less than that then what's the point? afterall the point of a simulator is to SIMULATE real life conditions to the best of its ability) Still going strong well into 1943 :rock:

In an old career using the stock version I once managed to total over 1.000.000 GRT.
After playing with GWX3 for around 3 years now this total will likely be lower,but i'm still racking up some decent tonnage :smug:
I play with 85% realism and manual targeting.The only things I keep on are:
- map contacts (its realistic for your watch officer to provide you with contact updates while you attend to other tasks.Why do you think the officers are even IN the game?,to assist you when needed)
- stabilize view (German optics were very good)
- external view (I sometimes like to watch my UBoat in 3rd person,but NEVER use it in a plotting or attack scenario!)

In one of my career, so the numbers are high, and I mean really big ..... and I'm sure that there is a record in itself .... maybe :haha:

A Little over 251,000 tons. All of the info is in the "over 200 tons link".
I think I am at the end of page 5. Did it with 71% ( could never get the manual target thing --- must be the effect of being old.

A real veteran among us,pleased to meet you sir :yep:

Well said, I'm happy to second the motion. :salute:

I love it. A guy digs up a five year old thread just so he can criticize it, and people fall right into the 'gamer' trap. Suckers. :rotfl2:

Why can't dead threads stay dead? Because of atomic mutations of the 1950's B-Movies. :haha:
