But following the intent of the game that is a chunk of fuel for a type VII, even being conservative. And you know, there will be a random convoy or some jazz along the way to intercept.
Well I'm curious about the grid so I'll probably go.
I just prefer the Atlantic and it's typical weather. Didn't take long to figgure out in 1.03 that it is a key to success. In calm seas you might as well let off a flare to let them know your comming.
Maybe, you've just been doing such a wonderful job, you and your crew is just being rewarded with a gentle cruise in warmer waters.

Of course, you could also wonder why you would be sent to great white shark infested waters :hmm: Did your orders make any reference to offering up swim calls for both officers and men? Did your 1st officer have a private meeting with BdU prior to your departure? Just sayin' that a little paranoia is healthy when others are out to do you in (and a UBoat is a lousy platform to mount a shark watch from - nobody would see the beast until after it had bitten you in two).
