average tonnage

Mooncatt · 02-09-07, 04:11 AM

whats everyones average tonnage per patrol on GWX i prolly get between 20-25k tons per patrol. is this crap or pretty good?

danlisa · 02-09-07, 04:15 AM

That sounds realistic to me.

Which was the aim of GWX. You only have to look at what the real Kaleuns managed to sink on their patrols to realise that many of us are well above average on our tonnage.

If you're using a type 7, it's probably around my average.

If you're in an 11........

Be more aggressive!

In my 4 careers (type IXB for all of them) my exact average tonnage is 78k tons per patrol. But as time passes in the war, it's getting MUCH less every time.

Thats pretty good.

I have, after 15 patrols, 566399 tonnage. That makes an average of 37760.

cool glad to know im not far away, i think i might be lackin a little due to my convoy attacks. what i do is fire my 4 bow fish at hit some ships if they sink all well and good if they dont...tough. by then the DD`s have an idea where i am and come looking for me so i dive deep and get out. by the time they lost me and bugger off idont go back for a second bite of the cherry as the first one was enough

Difficult to compare, depends so much from what time of the war and what level of realism is used.

melnibonian · 02-09-07, 05:34 AM

Early in the war the average for me is quite high (35-50,000 GWT) but after 1943 it drops quite steadily to 15-20,000 GWT. As Danlisa said that was the aim of GWX as these type of tonnages are far more realistic.

baggygreen · 02-09-07, 05:34 AM

im about the same as mooncatt, with a type VII that is.

Mooncatt · 02-09-07, 05:40 AM

well im using a VIIB in mid 1941

andy_311 · 02-09-07, 06:25 AM

My biggest tonnage in GWX was in early war 178k but that included 2BB's ,1 BC and a convoy and lucky enough there where a couple of T3s in there.

I'm new to this game. So far I've done six patrols in a Type IIA for 66000 tons, but I've had two really good patrols that bumped up the average. I expect to get about two ships per patrol for maybe 8000 tons...

Seems right to me! 100,000 is not in the cards for me.

Mind you, your average would be easy to work out.

Just half your tonnage.:rotfl:

Kumando · 02-09-07, 11:04 AM

i think it depends much on the realism settings used, ppl using auto targeting and or WE assistance will surely have more tonnage than ppl using 100% realism.
