About two weeks ago I started my first career... ever.
I started with out with a IIA (first 3 patrols), each patrol I sunk only 1 ship
I missed a lot and used way to much torpedo's for indivual ships.
Currently I've got a VIIB.
My 5th patrol was pretty good: 55897 tons which means an efficiency of 3993 tons/torpedo
I sunk an Illustrious Fleet Carrier near Scapa Flow with 4 torpedo's. Sinking big ships helps
. Also I succesfully managed to sink some ships with the deckgun (2 small merchants, 1 tugboat, 1 trawler and a tropedoed C2, I used realistic reload times by the way
).
I just finished the 7th patrol, I sunk about 30000 tons --> 2143 t/t
93% realism (only external camera)
No weapons officer assitance
manual targeting
