Your Longest Patrol
 

Mine was 60 game days in a VIIC patrolling the French coast in August 1944.

78 days with U-124 in front of Freetown (WaW career)
destroyed miserable 5 ships for less then 20.000 GRT :shifty:

59 days in a VIIB and 110 days in a IXD2

2 1/2 months, to Halifax and back. Only managed to sink a lousy 12,500 tons:nope:

23rd patrol last career....departed 16 May 1943, returned 16 Sept. 1943....124 days...sunk 9 ships for 84859 tons in an IXD2.

69 days (MAR 18 40 - MAY 25 40) in a IXB type U-123, started in Wilhelmshaven. Sent to EJ66, where I only met 1 neutral coastal vessel, and on my way back (to Cadiz because of low fuel) I stopped at Western entrance to Gibraltar - sunk 18 ships in 24 days there. It was one of very few patrols ended with undamaged hull. :)

From my SH3 Commander Personnel file:
Patrol results
Crew losses: 0
Ships sunk: 20
Aircraft destroyed: 0
Patrol tonage: 230941 tons

It was GXW 1.03 almost a year ago, and I picked only the largest targets when W of Gibraltar.

62 days VIIC west of Gib.....144 days IXD2 the curry being http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

200 days I or somewhat like that....going around the globe (including a passage through the Panama Canal).....0% realism? Uhm...why?:doh:

63 days, got sunk though :dead:


yesss no more that dumb medic avatar

164 days in a IXD2. I went into the Pacific...

Edit: 77 days in a Type VIIC, using U-461 to refuel from.

so... that would make it... 60 years and 63 days, gross estimate :P

Even though I decided to shelf SH3, the longest patrol I did in SH3 was 365 days In SH4 30 days.

LOL :rotfl:

I once recorded an 85-day patrol in a VIIb. Totally unrealistic, and I have no idea how it happened, but when I went back and counted again, there it was. Also, it was early war, so no refueling or anything like that.

Only happened once.

85 days in my trusty Type IX. 42 days to my patrol area off South African cape, then re-fuel at milch cow before the long voyage home which took another 43 days. Bagged 5 merchants worth 33.000 tons. :cool:
