Number of days spent in base (In-between patrols)

anything from 14 days -28 days. after each patrol, plus time for repairs, refits.

Pick a couple of random boats out from this:

http://uboat.net/boats/patrols/boats.html

There didn't seem to be any set time. U-99 spent only 4 days in Lorient between Patrols 2 and 3 and 8 days between Patrols 5 and 6, though that was more the exception than the rule. U-552 usually had stays of 20-30 days for example.

Repairs, overhauls, and equipment additions would have added more time spent ashore as well.

I set mine for 'Random'. I've spent several weeks in base, and on a couple of occasions where I didn't have any encounters, I was turned around and out again within one week - just like real life.

Not compiled, but this source seems to contain details of every patrol.

So does uboat.net, as suggested above I just pick a boat and look at its patrols. Usually you get an idea of a 'standard' patrol length.

LoneKharnivore is right. U-boat.net seems to have the most archived, and accurate information on these boats. I only go there when I want to learn more.
