Okay...during the development and testing stages of TGW and GWX, 2, 2.1, 3 I have sank millions of tons and had careers that have lasted anywhere between a few hours and the entire length of the war.

No hope for me I guess

I personally have always objected to tonnage comparisons, because it is possible in any game to achieve records that make the real-life kaleuns green with envy. I personally try to play as close to historical patterns as I can, which means I have had more than one patrol end with no tonnage at all, and I consider 25,000 tons to be exceptional, my average probably being around 5000 per patrol.

I just finished my first war patrol since "rediscovering" SH3... First patrol after hostilities commenced, in U-45 VIIB - Just over 29,000 tons, 6 ships. I hit (and probably sank) a passenger cargo, but lost it in the fog when I had to evade two nearby warships coming to her aid. I also hit an ore carrier on my way home, but the one torp I had left wasn't enough to put her under. Wish we got renown for damage! I tend to play more historically as well - most of the tonnage this trip was one ship - a 10,000 ton large cargo vessel in the St. George's Channel.
