About 123,000 tons, including the Rodney. Was an early 1940 patrol with a VIIB.
Only two 100k+ patrols with a VII so far.

Since i've never tried the IX, there's probably more to come.

This is my highest tonnage patrol so far with a type VIIB, or any boat for that mater. 133,594 GRT sunk with 30 days spent at sea.

Alittle over 100k a couple of times. For the most part, a good patrol is about 35-60k.

Herr Mohr you just don't stop to amaze me... 74 ships sunk in one patrol? You throw potatoes at them??

My biggest was around 90k in the earlier years but playing hardcore realistic.

I specifically do not cherry-pick targets for max tonnage... Once, I happened upon two cruise ships in a single patrol. Sank the second one using nothing but the deck gun. Managed to top 100k on that single patrol and haven't bothered trying to duplicate it since. It wasn't a patrol I was particularly proud of.

I'm much happier with my current patrol in which I just sunk a 5000 ton merchant in severely choppy seas just North of Scapa. Fired a 3-fish at 2° salvo and all 3 made solid side impacts! I was able to surface and allow the crew (and myself) a view from topside as she went down...
