- Do you unrealistically chase convoys at high speeds during periods of low visibility (rain, etc.) ?
- Do you reload from deckside torpedoes during unrealistic/ahistorical conditions ?
Off top of my head anyway. If this doesn't belong in this thread bstanko, I'll be glad to delete it.

I'm adding to the list:
- Not sending daily status reports to BdU?
- Not shadowing a convoy when instructed to do so, reporting their position every two hours?
- Not staying in or around assigned grid for the remainder of the patrol, unless instructed otherwise?
- Not staying submerged during daylight when in transit on enemy seas, including around early war Britain?
- Not using proper diving and surfacing procedures?
- Engaging aircraft with Flak at any time, rather than crash dive?
- Avoiding convoys after 1943, because you know in hindsight that they are death traps?
