Rather get surprises in my career than actively search for a Capital Ship.
But that's my opinion

I'd like to BE surprised once in awhile, LOL. All we ever seem to sight is small ships...a Large Merchant is like ambrosia for my crew!

I've been rather lucky lately, mostly 4000 to 10.000 tonnes.
Got another 32.000 tonnes last patrol.

But something feels wrong, it's almost too easy, I was right in the middle of a convoy and I got away without being detected.
Which is kind off affecting my mentality, every patrol it's like, this is the last one, the previous was too good to be true.
Maybe that's why my men's morale is halfway

Take the good whilst you can...it should get harder.

True, It's called ''Happy Times'' for a good reason.

Lucky! I usually get detected right away, even when I'm running silent and have the periscope barely out of the water. I thought escorts weren't that well-trained in 1940.

I find the biggest issue here is avoiding bad habits. It's pretty easy to become complacent in which case you're in for a rude awakening once the escorts start using effective tactics.

Think that will be my problem once things when my career hits 1943.
Until then the only thing that worries me is the weather.

That thought is the number one killer for me. "They'll never notice me, if I succeed in doing this". Then I succeed in doing what I think is safe - and then they suddenly notice me and usually sink me, too.
