The problem is, with all those planes my batteries cannot recharge, every time they recharge to the point I was before, another plane comes in. dive, use battery power, plane goes away, surface, recharge, bang.. another plane.

The flak.. well I learned my lesson, never use them, useless. I only want to use it when diving isnt an option due drained batteries.. otherwise, dive dive dive.. euh. TAUCHEN!

Main issue, is that it is hard to travel a reasonable distance. Last night I was forced to give up a persued on some merchants due the bloody planes. Can I ever fire a torpedo?

They DO fly at night, not as regulary, but they are plenty..

So, from now on its no more fun I guess!

PS: Jimbuna, I hate you!, you spoiled my greed for tonnage!
Welcome to the painful world of being a U-boat captain.

At least when we die in-game... it doesn't hurt.

I recommend getting a snorkel as soon as it is available. However, even that is not radar-proof.

If your batteries are taxed from having to stay submerged for long periods of time... it sounds like we've done our job properly.
