My pleasure Herr Kaleun as I regard the Uboot as a gun ship with augmentation eels! Walk to the ladder on either side of the con and proceed down to the deck and then forward to the gun: click on the gun (gun crew appears)and then on the upper left hand binocular function when ready for a scope view of the target where you will also find your ammo preference (AP or HE). Use the mouse wheel for barrel elevation. When using the gun yourself, do NOT use F5 as AI gunners will continue firing at anything else and waste unintended ammo after you exit the station; Use 'SHIFT- U' to return to the bridge W/O having to use the ladder...very useful and time saving when an escort has the range on you and is closing fast! It helps to promote the gunner efficiency guy early on in the career so that reloads are faster when you are doing the shooting. I do all my own gunnery and only one eel per ship with gunnery to finish off cripples.

Question How long does it take for a ship to sink with 1 torpedo.
Answer if you use the mod " one ship one torpedo V1.00" straight away, you will get the kill, but the ship will take time to go under.

Use the mod " Change days in the Bunker" to reduce the standard 14 days down to your choice.
This can be useful if your current mission is over running so when you start your next mission you will not lose so many days. i.e. default 14 your choice 3 you get back 11 days, as you have only advanced 3 days.

If you finish your patrol too early select, "End Patrol" go to the officer and start the new patrol even though it will still be your old one. When on the bridge go to the "Anchor icon" and select "End Patrol" Go back to the officer and repeat until you have made up enough days to start your new mission.
