Probably August-September 1944 in Luzon Straits with a Gato. Ended patrol with around 94,000 tons or so.Think that was the best, was on 100 realism, cams off.Ran into 5 or 6 convoys, knocked out some big ships than managed to get a light carrier that was one of the convoys.

Tonnage wise, sneak into Truk sometime

In a 10 day period in 1943 I sank the RMS Queen Elizabeth-83673 tons, SS Empress of Britain-42348 tons, a US Boque carrier-14055 tons and a steam trawler-330 tons.

TOTAL 140,406 tons

It was bitchin tonnage for my German sailors and I did not get a single upgrade or new boat for it and felt Hitler must have been off his rocker not to be kissing our ass. I had found a sweet spot southwest of the Irish coast and they simply came to me. I was really shocked to see the Elizabeth without escorts and unarmed. I sank her, the Empress of Britain and steam trawler with the deck gun. I fired 4 torpedoes at the carrier and 3 struck her. I managed to elude the escorts and 30 minutes later came back up to fire 1 more torpedo which hit and she soon sank. At 160 meters the escorts never got a track on me and I escaped.

I once got both Yamato's and a Kongo during the Sibuyan Sea and still had enough time to catch a crusier that was retreating from the Surigao Strait battle.(I doubt I would be able to repeat that even if I had a million chances.) I don't recall exactly what my tonnage was but it was nearly 200,000 tons.
