This is a good patrol for me, I am making full use of my deck gun this patrol. As most of the ships I come across are just floating bathtubs with cargo. Some are just plain not worth a torpedo. So its good I get to use the guns.

shooting accurately in winds of 7 meters per second though is a little more challenging. lol
I wait till the boat is going down on the waves before I fire the gun, then use the upward ride on the waves to reload, then when down fire again. Much cheaper and easier than firing torpedoes. I also blast with my flak as well, just for more speed of sinking. I am really saving on torpedoes this patrol as normally I don't get much chance to use my deck gun.
