I am impressed about you playing this seriously, diving for hydrophone contacts etc. With an inexperienced crew I spend most of the time on the surface, though, because those noobs really do a terrible job at the gear. Only once very 24 hours, usually at night, I dive to listen (remember to dive below periscope depht). I make a slow 180 degrees turn. I never pick up any noise, but at least I can go back to bed and call it a day, I did my duty with this wonderful equipment provided to me by the president and his glorious US Navy.

But there is one thing that annoys me terribly much. I like to play the most realistic way possible, and yet I have an average of 10.000 - 20.000 tons sinkings each patrol. It's almost German scoring - with a fleet boat in the pacific! In my opinion there are way too many targets moving around out there compared to how it really was.

Ok, I am a good shooter and seldom misses. In real life they got 1 sinking for every 12 torpedoes fired. Statistically. It's about 4 torpedoes per sinking with me, I guess. Believe it or not - I want to have long and boring patrols to at least reflect real life, but usually I am in the middle of a swarm of jap ships

Well, that was my 25 cents for now.
