Thanks mate. It is expected that the implementation in the game mirrors real life specs, but no guarantee. Anecdotally I can only say that so far we have not been hit below 200 meters, and according to the above information that is expected. The VIIC/41 is the way to go in dead is dead careers no doubt. The key is to use that capability and not hang about near the surface too long lol.

U-292 has reached January of 1944 if you can believe it. We have had our close calls, and got lucky a few times too. Didn't expect to live so long if I'm honest, but there ya go. We have completed both Black Pit and Last Stand, each of which required 250k in trade shipping in the square comprised of BE, BD, AL and AK grids. That's a lot of sinkings. Warships do not count toward the total. There are not a lot of different merchant ships in the game yet. Largest we have seen are T2 tankers, which come in around 14,000 GRT. Mostly though, at this stage of the war, it is C3 freighters and Liberty ships, 7800 and 7200 tons respectively.

We have seen no liners, merchant cruisers, big troopships. Nor have I seen any battleships or carriers outside of Scapa Flow. The milk cow has proven valuable, allowing refueling and rearming and turning some patrols in to double-barreled affairs. I can shift it around as needed and it all works beautifully

Our tonnage totals are exorbitant. Some higher difficulty settings and house rules for tech are in order for the next career I think. This first career is to get a feel for what needs to be done to get the game where I want it. Making it a little harder is needed. The alternative technology timeline has given us a big advantage I think. The Cross (and upgrades) are the most important installation on the boat. T5s I'd rate as next. Having these things years early makes a big difference in the campaign. Slowing things down will help to even the playing field I think.

Great game. If we are able to make it to the end I'll be pleased. And then I'll start immediately on career number 2 with some revised settings and rules and mods.
