Most fleet boats have carry 24 torpedoes.

Fired in volleys of 4 torpedoes is 6 salvos. Some volleys would be smaller, but this is basically a worst case.

The average merchant is in the neighborhood of 5,000 tons. Some heavier some lighter, but that's a decent average.

6 salvos * 5,000 tons = 30,000 tons.

If you can shoot straight, that's a reasonably easy score to get. Notice that this number isn't much lower than the 38,500 ton average I had been getting? Hmmmmm....

If you consider that I tend to sink the small ships (in the 2-3k tons range) with the deck gun, that skews the average tonnage per merchant torpedoed upwards. If you're so all fired against using the deck gun for more than personal defence and finishing off cripples, just let the smaller ones go and I would be supprised if you couldn't achieve 35k+ per patrol without too much difficulty. Simple as that.

I never said I was skeptical of your score. You said that. Please, do not put words on others mouths. I do not care about your score. I was offering up suggestions to why your score is large. You are the one complaining about traffic. There is an old saying, "The first to complain about today's meal is tomorrows cook." So, your new traffic mod will be ready when?
