I've done it, and yes, it is god awful hard once you start figuring out fuel estimates.

The trick, as I found, is to switch flotillas...a LOT. And you have to run very slow, so as to save fuel.

But the trick is to switch to the Med as soon as you can, and then switch to the Black Sea. That does make things easier, but OMFG, it is not fun once you hit 1943. Every single patrol from mid-1943 to 1945 was sheer terror, because of fuel constraints, I had to attack all that I found, unless it was sheer suicide.

But VERY satisfying when you walk away with decent numbers. Like when I successfully sunk a Revenge and 2 Didos in the Med in 42. That was an amazing feeling.
