Best patrol was in a Type II during the end of '40 in the North Sea: one small merchant sunk, one airplane shot down, 15% hull integrity after being mauled by a destroyer, three wounded crewmen, one dead officer, but we brought the boat back home to Kiel...through the canal. I think SH3Commander retired me after that.

best career in stock 100%: oktober 1939 till mid 1943.

best career in gwx 100%: ended in february 1943 after 14 patrols, can't remember when it started, but it wasn't in 1939.
After attacking and leaving a convoy I got too deep (220) at 1 kts and I couldn't get up without making noise. When I desperately tried to raise, I alarmed a dd. It was a awful dilemma and I hesitated too much in getting above the maximum diving depth.

I've only got 4 careers so far. I play sh3 for half a year now.

If the game is hard and you can`t reach 1945,immagine how it would of been in reality,i`ve read somewhere that beginning with 44 the subs rarely maked it alive after the seccond time they left the base.
I wonder if the 21 type subs had a longer life span.The antisub warfare i think was more evolved then the subs contrameasures.

the only way to find it out is to try it

That evolution of technique on both sides dictates the game and imo is one of its best parts of the game.

If you've read that, then you've also read about the hapless souls who had to make multiple attempts at returning to port. Planes jumped them in Biscay to the point that uboats were "phoning in" saying they were trying "one more time", and requesting escort (or at least the Luftwaffe to get off its arse and do something about taking back the Bay).
