Cheer up! In a couple of years, the type XXI will be available. From about mid-1942 on, my experience becomes... it's better to live to fight another day. Submerge early when attacking convoys... very early... and if they said past because you're too far away... oh well, you survived at least. Don't fight it out w/ Aircraft on the surface... always dive. You will still sink ships, but once the game enters the end of 1942, you won't do so as often or with as much success, unless you put yourself, your boat and your crew in a lot of risky situations. I'd play it safe and wait until April 1944, transfer to Bergen and get a XXI... then stick it to those Allied convoys!! Best of luck, Captain!
