I know those are historically accurate patrols.
But I'm curious as to how?
Unless you intentionally go retarded at the beginning of each career, to simulate the greenness of a new skipper, I would assume you are competent, if not very skilled at manual targeting.
Doesn't the game intentionally have more ships come your way, cause as someone once put it, it would be hard to market SH3, Boredom in the Atlantic.
Do you mod the game to reduce contacts, etc?
To answer the OP, My best is 123,704, but that was only 5 ships total!
Would have more, as I put 2 eels into the Hood before it could hook up with the convoy, and another 2 after it was trailing behind. Never got it to sink though.
That would have been one for the record books, historically speaking. Type VII too, With a IX I would have had the eels to sink her, as I ran out.....
