The fuel problem arose in IIA boat because of huntinng a merchant for two hours and burning too much of this precious fuel - i just wasn't aware of GWX i'm afraid.
The 16 km mod was also tried out, but i found armed trawlers shot at me from 10 km, and hit - i guess that was a bit too much, so i disabled it.
Then i tried the positive buoyancy mod at first, choosing a VIIB and make a channel run to the Atlantic - not a good idea. What even had been possible with RUB and NYGM now turned out to be a nightmare. Problem was that all batteries were destroyed, and i was sitting on the ocean floor at 40 meters, repairing the boat for 20 hours and more, being depth charged again and again.
My intention was to blow the tanks after some hours, and race back to Wilhelmshaven with the Diesels alone - since i was near Calais i had a chance at least - but then i realized my boat had suddenly broke the surface and i was shot to smithereens... what the hell - positive buoyancy, ahhh - I de-installed the positive buoyancy mod immediately lol. I guess i would have stayed at the floor had i chosen my depth to a deeper setting (?)
Thanks and greetings,

Concerning fuel loadouts for the Type IIA in GWX... they are correct. Heavy weather will also increase fuel consumption... However there are ways around that. (submerge and ride it out.)
Concerning the 16 km mod and long range gunnery. Long range gunfire is not usually at all accurate. However, there is the occasional lucky hit... and if you stay exposed long enough... you will be hit.
ALL guns have been destabilized in GWX... removing the laser guided accuracy present in stock SH3. (I wish I had a dime for every time someone said that it... or anything else couldn't be done, LOL.)
Concerning the channel. In WWII, U-boats were ordered to avoid it. Consider it a NO GO zone for U-boats in GWX unless you have a deathwish. The allies well and truly own it.
