If you use a type II you might aswell stay in the North Sea, generally you tend to expend all your torps before its short range becomes an issue anyway. I like them for the reason that patrols in a type II are short in real life time aswell as in game time.

If you do need a top-up, supply boats are marked in blue.

And the SH3Gen instructions are solely for immersion.

Weird, I'm in a VIIB, and I thought my navigator had given my range as significantly less than that while on 2/3rds. Is his estimate, perhaps, a radius?
