Between September 1939 and the 1st January 1940 Otto Kretschmer undertook 6 war patrols, with an average of about 7 days between each patrol. You can read this on uboat.net, and it wasn't unusual. There was very short turnaround time between patrols in the early days.

As the war went on the time spent in base increased, and SH3Commander does reflect this - it says itself that the numbers are based on real historical averages.
