First I thought that it was a bit of a trek for a first patrol, but then I thought well, I guess you go where your told. But wondered what kinds of ranges uboats were capable of (taking into account decent fuel management of course hehe). I can't remember if I saw a thread somewhere talking about the game not being incredibly reliable on selecting realistic patrol grid locations.

Mind you, I guess patrols over to the US Coast were months long, so I can't grumble with AM18 hehe. Forgive me if I'm missing the point a little, I'm trying to get the best experience with SH3. PS I use GWX2 also.

Thanks.

I'm just now chasing a small convoy with some big ships West of Freetown (starting in St. Nazaire). So please stop grumbling and sink your prey, Herr Commander!
