Type IXC range
Hello all.
Although usually I´m a Type VIIB-C Kaleun, this time I decided to try the US east coast in a Type IXC. According to Uboat.net and U-Historia.com, Type IXC had a maximum range of 13.450 nm (approx 25.000 Km) at 10 Knots. Departing from Lorient with the surrounds of Norfolk as patrol area (CA73) I have calculated that travelling between 3-5 knots my maximum range will be only of... more or less 8.100 nm, say more or less 15.000 Km!!  So I will must refuel at U-461 in my journey to home or... be lost at sea. Any explanation, please? Thanks.
