For me this is patrol #8, my second one with the Balao.
Some good ideas, following another ship through at night... I've got my crew rotations done, and have upgraded my AA guns to the 40mm that just became available (in case I get in trouble with aircraft and can't dive). I've also added to my loadout a Mk 27 "Cutie" aft (in case I need to "discourage" an attacker), and a pair of Mk18s (which just became available to me) forward; 1 in tube 6 and 1 as reload (in case I need a bit more surprise than usual).
I'm debating adding 1-2 more of the Mk18s but for me they are unproven so I hesitate to take a lot of unproven ordnance into battle, especially if the stakes get high and I can't afford malfunctions... Anyway, didn't have much time last night so I busied myself with base preps so I am now ready to put to sea. I also added the new mod changing medal structure last night, my brief look I liked what I saw.
Anyway, thanks for the advice guys.
