On first patrol with VIIC and have sunk 35k tons with 9 torpedoes left. Nice to find those unescorted tankers. And it is quite pleasant to have 1000m of water beneath the boat, as on my first few patrols in the IIA I inadvertantly crashed dived to 25m when the depth was only 19m. 6 crew dead including an officer and my torpedo man. Haven't made those mistakes again.
Have also bookmarked the links provided.
