If you manage to do that, great, but I honestly think this is hardcoded as well.

I think Bubbe's suggestion of a patrol duration subject to the depletion of stores (food, water, etc.) would be more accurate in game than the current patrol duration subject to the depletion of fuel oil. I say this because the usage of fuel oil is not exactly accurate traveling east to west or west to east because we're playing the game on a flat map surface rather than a round globe. The higher the degrees of latitude on which you travel east to west or west to east, the greater the distance on a flat map surface due to its distortion. This is why some type IX u-boats have fuel problems traveling to the US coast and back when in reality they had enough fuel to make the trip.
Thomsen suggested using the CO2 gauge; I'd suggest using the fuel gauge and making it a Food gauge or Stores Gauge instead and having it represent a depletion rate based on days at sea relative to the type of u-boat (II, VII, IX, IXD2, etc.) and their normal duration of cruise.
Modders, any ideas on how this could be done?
