I wouldn't like that 'cause it seems fairly unrealistic to me. But that's just me.

180k tons in a single patrol with a type IX, in late 40. Most of it was in the same convoy, about 10 Large Merchants. One torp each then finish them after they were left behind. Large Merchants are especially vulnerable to deck guns if hit properly (20 hits are neough to sink one). Also quite a few unescorted Granville types. Easy work with the deck gun at close range.

At the end of that career I had more than 2 milion tons to my name. That was the last time I've played as merchant killer. Since then I only sink warships. SH4 is better for this due to the vast number of task forces. The best patrols in SH4 were beyond the 100 k mark.

611,434.

(26 Patrols) 107/20. 1939 - May,1943.

GWX, DID etc.

I reckon I'd be hard pushed to get to 800,000 by wars end, if I could survive that long.

So far managed 300k and currently on patrol 5 in February 1940 in GWX3 at 100%. Hoping to hit at least 600k before the year is out and a million by the end of '42.

I've never survived beyond 1940 though, nevermind the whole war (playing DiD) This career is my third attempt and probably my last of 2009. We'll see what happens.
