Normal Tonnage

I play at 84% realism, GWX 3.0 and am averaging 59K tons per patrol in my current career (5 patrols), Sept 39 - Apr 40.

However, I have had extraordinary luck with this career. My usual take is around 25-30K per patrol. But even that is getting a bit too arcade-like, so I am learning manual targeting in another career path. That should bring me back down to 10K a patrol!

The #1 determing factor for tonnage in SH3 is how much you use your hydrophones to locate targets.

For whatever reason, it is much easier to find targets in game with the hydrophones than it was in real life.
