I got to End43, then got distracted by something else.

Was using 100%, NYGM+fixes, Real Navigation, No map updates = slave to the rhythm.

My Clues: Never signal BDU, pick target areas, submerged daytime - 2knots, Dive on radar contact.... don't chase, wait for ships. Average ships = around 3 sunk per patrol.

The only 'big ship' i got was an escort carrier in the middle of a convoy. I specifically targeted this first, via hydrophone (recognised the sound signature) and sinking a few more ships in the following days was easier without air escort.

Got hit badly 2x in '43 but made it back to base OK.

I want to do it again - must find the time though.
