Im trying to statistically figure out/verify if i reaching 1million tons is even remotely possible in an VII uboat in SH3.

OK, gotcha, maybe say non-auto, instead of manual. Single-shot kills are still quite possible without the silver-bullet effect FWIW.
To answer your question, yes, one million is well within reach in a type VII. Here's a career I finished recently. 11 patrols in a VIIB, 13 in VIIC, final patrol in VIIC/42. Sunk in March of '44 attacking a KG battleship. We stopped it with a four-shot salvo, and made the mistake of having our periscope spotted as we maneuvered to get the stern fish off. Sunk after a vicious depth charging lasting about an hour. This career played at 88% (MCU enabled), manual TDC. I twist the dials to operate the TDC, no external views, always return to base. I let the crew shoot the gun too
That's an average of 44,740 tons per patrol. Average patrol duration on this career was 27.84 days, though I'd say my average overall in type VII is closer to 35 days, just happened to have some short patrols in this career. My longest patrol in a type VII is 108 days (no milkcow)
