Do you guys practice drills on patrol

It's funny how different people see the sim. Some see it as a "Game". I like to view it as a U-Boat Simulation.

It may not matter in "game sense", but real U-Boats did practice Crash Dives, Weapons Drills, and So on. A U-Boat had to do a Trim Dive Everyday! So to immulate reality I do all of those.

Otto Kretschmer's procedure was to do dive everyday for two hours before dawn. It gave the crew a break, trimmed the boat, and let them search for sound contacts. I do the samething and it has actually paid off in finding single merchants. (I dont use single merchant map contacts)

I guess it depends on how much you like to reenact historical situations, or just pop in a "Game".l
