Real Time Patrol (1x TC), First attempt!

What Damo said, I suggest that you TCx1 once you're far away from home base, higher chance of enemy contact, It took me near 6~8 days to complete my TCx1 Patrol and all I saw was 1 small merchant and airplanes

13:54, crash dived for training purposes, went down to 222 meters to test the boat. Everything fine, no leaks, 2 bolts broke. Grid BF5412.

Using WAC 4.1, 100% realism, DiD.
SH3 Commander, with random ship tonnage, random crush depth, and others.
No instant death screen + long repair times.
3th Flotilla, La Rochelle, Lt. Philipp Thomsen.

Yes, 3 days won't be enough, unless I find a convoy and use all my torpedos. But I'll see what I can do, I'll keep going 1x TC as long as I can. If some time I have to do something else, I'll just pause the game and then resume at high TC when I get back, to get the clocks together again.

I always wanted to do this. Incidentally I also play on Bravia and 5.1. Maybe you've just given me the push needed.

"Heil und sieg! Sink'em all!"

It does make a difference... having all the sounds coming all around you, with that big screen. Makes you feel like ur really there.

Also, with that big screen and image quality (the bravia has some functions that reduce the tearing, smoothers the pixels and pixel transitions), its so cool that I can actually just sit on the bridge for hours, just looking at the ocean and skies, and having the breeze pass thru me, from front speakers to back speakers. Its a brand new experience...

5:42, reached patrol grid objective, BF42.

15:15, so far, not a bird in sight.
