Patrol 2, November/December 1939. I've been assigned to patrol grid BE 67 from my base at Wilhelmshaven. Rather than risking Der Kanal, I decide to take the scenic route up the English coastline. See results below:

Question 1: Well, I'm having fun, but I've only got 3 fish left. I'm normally a stickler for following the orders I'm given, but do you think Uncle Karl will mind me coming home early? I've still got plenty of deck gun ammo, but the weather has been too bad to use it. Is it worth staying out any longer than my fish last?

Here's the list of ships sunk this patrol...

Question 2: Am I wasting eels? Everything under 3000T was sunk with one torp. Both Granvilles were sunk with a salvo of 2, and the ore carrier with a salvo of 3. All were set to impact due to the weather, and no duds. Is this just a very lucky patrol, or should I be more cautious with my torpedoes and save them for the big targets?

Question 3: Patrol so far has netted just over 28,000T. With my 3 fish left I'll hopefully get at least another 5,000T. Is a 33,000T patrol good?

Opinions please?
