Is there any way for someone to make a mod that would make patrols more realistic? I often make back-to-back patrols where I get 30,000+ tons of shipping. This is not accurate.
I've been reading 'Hitler's U-Boat War : The Hunters 1939-1942' by Clay Blair, and it gives detailed statistics for each theater of the war; i.e. the North Atlantic, South Atlantic, American, Arctic, etc, and the results of each patrol are no where near those of the game.
Of the 136 patrols (supply patrols excluded) made in the first year of the North Atlantic War, 8/1939 to 8/1940, the average patrol was;
Duration: 23.6 days
Ships sank: 2.5
Tonnage: 11,987.5
A more realistic patrol would make the game more interesting.

Thanks.
