The Scoop : Its very early in the war , 1939 . Type VIIb , with tons of fuel , 3/4 tank . Got sent to BF16 from Willy .

First on my trip around to BF16 , sunk 3 smaller ships with deck gun and a torpedo . ( my first 100% manual targeting shot by the way ) . So anyway when I arriveded , I got down to business right away . I musta got there at the rite time . I stay in my area for most of my patrols . So after 4 days and 4 more ships , I'm outa torpedoes ( still working on my manual targeting skills ) except for the 2 externals . One of my personal rules is that if the ocean is too rough for deck/flack gun crews then its to rough to transfer the external torpedoes also . At this current time the ocean is at 15m/s .

I know what I'm going to do . I'm going to hang around a few days to see if the ocean settles down a bit . If not return home .

My opinion question is : Would you call it a day and return to Willy with 3/4 ( 75% ) tank of fuel and 2 torpedoes ( externals ) or would you hang out and see if the ocean smoothed out a bit ?

I play with a few personal rules ( that I picked up from Sailor Steve ) but I'm always curious as to other players tactics . thanx
