I'm in November 1941, at my 20th patrol. First, on type VII, patrols tended to be short - easy to understand why. Now, I've moved to a type IX-C and only getting to patrol area takes as much time as a full patrol in a type VII. So I expect to have more days at sea and less&longer patrols. I hope the next patrol will be after December 1941, and on to the US Eastern coast - if I survive the current one, of course.
