Nice to see I am not the only one just finishing a first patrol or so.

Actaully I have finished a couple but have restarted careers again and again after learning a few things. NOW time to actually get serious!!!!

I generally leave port and then go under asap and run as long as I dare on my battaries back to the surface to recharge and do it again. When I submerge I go slow ahead or dead stop to let the sonar man do his thing and then do this again before surfacing, and possibly once or twice in a submerged run. When getting close to good hunting grounds I'll not run the battaries under about about 75% so that they are available when needed and I'll stop or go to slow more often for sonar checks. This way I have plenty of fuel for my patrol and some hunting.

First patrol I saved and went back a couple of times and got five kills with five torps using what I call the point and shoot method. (two reruns on first ship one for the third I believe) Now I believe after a couple more runs in the training mission I can setup my own solutions.
