On GWX 2.0, Balz had a 175,000 BRT patrol. If I remember right, he got that tonnage be decimating a northbound Freetown convoy.

Don't remember the exact tonnage, but it was around 120.000.
Including warships, merchants, fishing boats, planes. Everything sailing or flying under the flag of England or Australia.

my best patrol by far was as follows: (cant recall exact numbers)

I had been on a quiet patrol and had seen absolutely nothing for weeks... on my return voyage with my head hung low in the increadible wasted effort i came across a convoy, in the middle of the convoy was a southampton.

from this convoy i claimed a large tanker and the southampton.

I stalked the convoy for an additional day taking out a large merchant and a medium cargo ship.

weather forced me to break contact.

a few days later as i began to make the turn for the eastbound crossing north of the British isles i received a contact report of a task force and i promptly intercepted it.

scored three hits on a revenge class BB, and one hit on a Nelson class BB. The nelson slowed to a crawl and the rest of the TF sailed on, this allowed me to reload and claim the Nelson.

en route to base down the eastern British coast i encountered (IIRC) a pyro ammunition ship and sank her as well.

there were also a few tramp steamers that i shelled along the East British coast.

all total was

1 Large Tanker
1 southampton class cruiser
1 large merchant
1 meduim cargo ship
1 revenge class BB
1 nelson class BB
1 Pyro ammunition ship
3 tramp steamers or small merchants (IIRC)

total tonnage had to be in the ball park of 105,000 to 110,000 tons

that was with GWX...right prior to the release of GWX2 so quite a while ago, dont think i'll ever top that one!
