Getting 100k ton patrol in late war is definitely much more challenging. When I start my career in 1939, my regular routine starting with raiding Southend at east coast English. The port has 2 large transport (24k x2), a modern tank (10k) and a medium cargo carrying tanks (5k) At the beginning of the war, all they have are a couple of asw trawler and torpedo boats. The net is nearly useless as defense as long as one can get around them. I nap 60k ton that way. Then I head to dover. There is a southhampton light cruiser sitting close to an openning by a dock - easy kill for another (10k). Now I have 70k with a few torp left and still full ammo for my deck gun. The remaining 30k is not that difficult to get. But then I find that it is much more difficult to do as the war progress.
