A few questions...

1. Yes, I sank a small merchant in the stock game. I emptied all three flak guns to it and it finally sank.

2. Signal1941 said it.

3. For me it varies. If I spot a convoy during the transit to the patrol area, I usually end up firing all torpedoes to it. Then there´s the boring patrols in high seas and heavy fog, when you cant do anything but wait. So, I´d say my patrol times are from 10 days to a few months.

I finished off a C2 after I'd knocked the propellor off with my last torp, used almost all of my Flak ammo, but she sank

Patrol Length: Depends, If I spot an Convoy I use most of my torps (when there are a lot of capital ships floating in it) I save 3 Torps on my way back in case when an DD detects I still have some guts left to fire at it.

TC in harbour : Lorient is an nice base...my TC goes max 4 and on some small parts I can higher it to 32 for a small while..
set ur TC in SH3Cmdr to 16. going to fast may result into an total mess when u accidently press an wrong button (crash dive button is the most dangerous one)

About flaks.. Save those for planes...if ur shooting all ur ammo at an coastal merchant...and your in 42 - 45 close by the english coast where happens to be an Airbase....then ur pretty fried fish if ur doing ''Click, Click, Click, ...Crap out of ammo!
