Just remember, in the famous words of someone else who lives in this forum...

Be more aggressive.

Hm, and another question. Not worth another tthread, it's very related. My 1st patrol is going well, sunk 6 ships north of the Shetland Island on my way to the patrol grid. One after another they actually seemed to look for me and died without finding me.

But now my officers and me are standing next to this second Flak. We are totally puzzled how to operate this thing. The other Flak works like a charme, but this one... It seems to be stocked with ammunition and ready to shoot ... just it won't move! Neither the crew seems to have any idea how it's workig.

Guess we'll have to ask the engineers when we are back in Wilhelmshaven...

Did you man your AA guns?

And was the section efficiency high enough? I try and have 1 PO trained as a flak gunner and 1 as a regular gunner, which pushes the efficiency high enough to allow me to use the guns. Otherwise, they stay locked firmly in place and won't move.
