A little trick for the Balao/Gato/Tench in TMO is to travel to and from patrol are at ahead standard(which is 15 knots as they did in RL usually) which will give you a decent speed of advance.Once in the area when conducting regular surface patrol, order ahead 2/3 then go to the knot o meter and order 12-12.5 knots.This gives you a nice patrol speed but saves a lot of fuel, extending your time on station quite a bit, also saves fuel for long pursuits at high speeds of convoys, recharging batteries etc.
I remember the speeds and range in stock were screwed, just thought I'd inform you in case you are running TMO.
