After several messed up attempts at a patrol I finely finished one from start to end...lol..
the IIA boat out of Wilhelshaven to AN81. made the trip without mishap & just settled in for the night at periscope depth & waited for a merchant to come by.
one did & I sunk it.
Another came by but it was to fast & going away so I started back. I had another contact, but it sounded like a DD & the sea was very rough so I started for home...
I caught up with another coastal merchant along the way & sunk him also...

Things saved just like the manual says & this time I got credit for one patrol for all of lthe crew.

however, some questions I would like to ask...

1) When I ask for max range all I got was: "Maximum range at current speed is not available" didn't matter what the speed was.

2) going along with the above...The fuel gage did not move from the full mark during the whole trip. Left full & returned full..

3) My watchman from the start was in lthe crew quarters & I had to manually drag & drop him on the bridge each and every time I surfaced.

At the end after everything is saved & it took me back to the crew quarters a lot of the crewman were outlined in blue.
then it all went away except for the radio man. He was outlined in blue & then yellow...
I couldn't find anything on that in the manual...

Now the game keeps sending me & my IIA boat on patrols further away then the boat is supose to go...
