My best patrol was the first 'clean' 100K patrol in 1942 off the coast of Canada. It was the first patrol where I did sink more than 100,000 tons without having to sneak into harbours and attack easy tragets. The funny thing about it was that more than 60,000 tons in this patrol were sunk when I came accross a totally unescorted convoy. 8 or 9 Tankers went down and if the weather was a bit better and I could use my deck gun the two Medium Merchants would not have escaped.
