Replicating Historic Tonnage in a TypeIIA

Otto Heinzmeir · 03-12-09, 09:14 PM

I have been attempting to mirror the historical tonnages for first the typeIIA and later the TypeVIIB. As a reference I am using the top tonnage ace Otto Kretschmer, who did 8 war patrols in a typeIIA. The U-23 I believe. I won't list all the parmeters but I play GWX3.0 with some tweeks of my own and a few guidlines that prevent me from camping out in the best patrol areas.

I broke down Otto's 8 missions in a typeIIA into various catagories on the top. Then listed below that are the stats for my GWX3.0 campaign with Wolfgang Kulz for the same number of missions in a TypIIA.

Otto Kretschmer
Patrols=8
Days=102
Total Tonnage=27,264
Ships sunk=8
Most Ships sunk per Patrol=3
Missions with no sinkings=3
Largest Tonnage ship=10,517
Tonnage per mission=3,453

Wolfgang Kulz
Patrols=8
Days=75
Total Tonnage=21,752
Ships sunk=7
Most Ships sunk per Patrol=3
Missions with no sinkings=4
Largest Tonnage ship=11,281
Tonnage per mission=2,719
Torpedos Fired=19
TOnnage per Torpedo=1,145

Looking pretty good, Otto!

Oh, and you too, Heinzmeir.

Looks like you are in the right ballpark.

What a great idea!

Obviously from other threads you can see that I like realistic tonnage scores rather than big ones. If you're using www.uboat.net then you alread know you can find all the scores from all patrols of every boat.
