I've retired Gunter Nitschke, my type IX captain. I figured 9 patrols and 400,000 tons was enough to earn him a teaching job at Murwik or something.

So now Bruno Cleves is out there in January '44 with his brand spanking new VIIC. I now have a snorkel...something I've never had the luxury of, being an early war player up to this point.

So this brings me to my question. What do I do? Do I run surfaced? Since my patrol grid out of Bergen is in the middle of the North Sea, I'm thinking that the Brits will be covering the skies like a blanket. Do I patrol submerged with the snorkel raised at all times possible? Or do I dive when I need to? I have the latest radar warning gear (Naxos) but I don't want to get jumped by Hurricanes or anything.

What say ye, late war captains?
