Personally I don't really make a mental note of the tonnage I sink/sank on a patrol. I may look at the end result and decide I need to turn up the difficulty but I certainly couldn't tell ya if I've ever got over or near to 100k, I just don't keep track. Like many here I play the simulation with an occasional external camera for taking in the eye candy only and not for a tactical gain.

Saving in case a torp misses? Never even crossed my mind. I do save regularly though due to the unstable nature of SH4. CTD is the only reason I've ever re-loaded a saved game while playing a patrol.
