There is no real sense of communication with the crew or the ability to write your own log other than what is scripted. There is no real way to drill the crew or anything else that makes the patrol more interesting between contacts. So what I will do is simulate some of things and incorporate them into an actual patrol log. I can simulate drill by taking the crew to battle stations periodically and practice crash dives accordingly as well. Also I will reference the real patrol logs of the boat I take and see if I can mirror some of their patrols by not immediatly going back to base after the mission is complete, but rather refit and stay at sea. There really is not much to upgrade with on the American boats anyway.

That sounds very cool. I never go back to base after the mission is complete,and,since RSRDC is always giving you more tasks,until you are out of torps,or getting low onfuel,it makes sense to refit,refuel and head back out without ending the patrol.
