can you give me advices how can i go without losing a month just for traveling in my patrols
P.S : using 1.3 patch and no mods my sub is a Gar type |
You have plenty of fuel to reach the Japanese Coast, patrol and return to Midway. There are several threads around on fuel management, you can do a search for them.
A few pointers:
Stay on the surface as much as possible. Diving and recharging batteries uses a lot more fuel than just staying on the surface.
Transit at 9.5~10 knots. That is the most efficient speed for most boats.
Get patch 1.4 at least. 1.5 is the U-Boat Missions that cost around 10 bucks. I never play U-Boats but the patch and improvements are worth the money.
