Wow! Thanks guys for the detailed info. I will try this out as soon as I spot my next contact. I did manage to sink a second ship on the same patrol. It was another small merchant, apparently from Polish navy (I saw the flag). I'm about halfway to my assigned patrol area.
I have couple more questions:
1. How exactly do you guys calculate the contact's speed? Do you just assume it's 6 knots if he's slow and 9 knots if he's medium? That's what I've been doing so far.
2. I've read that many people run submerged durring bad weather. What exactly is the purpose of this? Does the crew get tired quicker if you sail while surfaced in that kind of weather?
