2) Diesel is in very short supply and I hate wasting it, as it could be used by our tanks in North Afrika. Instead of running search patterns all over the Atlantic, is there map with British/USA most used shipping lanes?
there's a good map shipped with the dvd game, otherwise there are many posts with good search grids in this forum. consider east of scapa flow, easter coast of GB, ireland channel, west of gibraltar
3) British passenger liners, although probably filled with Englander, are they fair game? Will count for some nice tonnage, but should we stoop to shooting ships woman and kids?
as long as they are not neutral they are pretty good tonnage
4) Being such a Noob, my Torp engineers are not that qualified, so I have to get pretty close to my target, sometimes, a hundred and fifty meters or so. Quite often, my fish just bounce off. And sink. I have “Dud Fish” set to off, so they’re not duds. Does anybody know what the optimum distance before the fish arm is?
turon on dud toprs, and don't shoot under 400 meters, otherwise the topr won't arm itself. good range is 500/1000 meters, captains much better than me fire with success up to 4000 meters.
5) And lastly… Promotions. How do you guys figure who deserves the promotion or the medal? Take for example, obviously the officers will have more points, so who would you promote. Sailor 120/20 Mid 260/100 or the officer with 500/300. And there was an Injury Medal but I could not find the sailor who was injured.
I just promote them randomly, the injured guy has probably recovered during the patrol, but he must have been painted in red in the crew graphical interface when he has been injured..
