Fuel, fuel, fuel...

I passed up several choice targets this weekend because I simply didn't want to burn the gas to catch them.

I use 1/3rd for all travel. I only use full or flank when I'm trying to dodge a depth charge or I'm already in a decent position for a kill and want to close the range.

I learned early on that a Type II cannot engage in an end-run without drastically using up the fuel, but it doesn't matter so much since they only carry five fish. The Type VIIs have a nice amount of fish, and I simply prefer to lie in wait for nice targets to come to me rather than chase down something from a bad position.

Though if I'm lucky, and the weather is good and the seas calm, my deck gun will be used for chasing shots. Comes in handy, that.
