I am on a patrol now in which I have sunk 35K with three torps and about 70 shells. Completely embarrassing amateur hour. Luckily, I am not at my patrol grid, yet, so I may be able to redeem myself.

Many newcomers to SHIII forget, or miss, that it is a simulation, not an arcade shoot-em-up. Largely it is about efficiency and reality. Use your fuel wisely, use your torpedoes carefully, use your shells to best effect.
