What do you do late war, in 44 and 45 in particular?
This is what I do.

Travel surfaced 12 hours through Biscay, submerge other 12 hours, even if I have a snorkel installed. This is so as to hopefully spot planes more quickly and to be able to fight back. A VIIC/3 or 4 can pack a punch, as can a IX/3. I'll sooner dive, however, but fighting and dying on the surface is certainly better than getting hit by a bomb with the snorkel up. When I'm outside of Biscay, I travel submerged all the time. 23 hours on batteries and 40 meters, 1 hour on snorkel recharging. I use mostly VIIC variants late-war.
