Hey guys, I am in a bit of a self-made conumdrum right now. You see, I am only like 20 renown points from being able to vacate the very small and very cute Type IIA 'boot, and I am on a patrol. My grid was AN16, and this is Scapa Flow, a place that I am very familiar with. I go in thinking that there will be alot of big ships, maybe even the Revenge, for me to sink, and it turns out that there is nothing but 1000T destoyers there. I have wasted (i.e. sunk) three eels on three DDs, but I have only gotten like 4930T out of the deal. Should I save my last two torpedoes in hopes of coming across some big tonnage to down, or take out the DDs that have a chance of finding me? I feel if I go back to base with just 8T in the bank, that this would have been a failure as a patrol...since one big ship could equal that.

Also, I am just playing the regular game, no mods.
