My home port is Wilhelmshaven though I did refuel at the Thalia. I don't cruse at flank speed and really do keep an eye on how much diesel Im burning off. The fishing is really good down by Gibraltar, many French ships just dying to be sent to the locker.
These boats really do get out there pretty good when you travel at ahead slow and maybe ahead 1/3rd tops. I also still take the shortcut through the English Channel as well. I know everyone says this is a nono but, I usually use this route till early 1941 (when the merchants get guns). While I don't do a lot of fishing in the English Channel I do have to say that I have had some luck at blasting merchants and sneaking away underwater, with the parascope down so that they cant tell the destroyer what heading I left on.
Realism is set to 98% as well. Having said that I did get stranded in the middle of the Atlantic back when I first started... that sucked.
