What do you do with Kleiner Frachters

[Heibges]

That is the same dilemna kaleuns were faced with. Ammunition allocation per target, is a prime skill of all combat vehicle commanders whether uboat captains or tank commanders.

The Uboat Commanders Handbook advices "it is better to destroy little than damage much", and that it is advisable to fire at least 2 torpedoes at every target.

If you look at it this way, with a Type VII using only torpedoes you should be able to sink a maximum of 7 ships. So now on patrol you will want to make sure you fire at the 7 juiciest targets, and this greatly inceases the realism of the game.

Now marry this up with hydrophone usage from Uboat Commanders Handbook, and your careers will look like those from history.

I feel the same way as XXI. But if I fire at that small merchant, and can't use the deckgun, I will fire 2 torpedoes at it to make sure I hit it and sink it. This greatly increases my pleasure when I finally stumble across a convoy with 5 tankers!
