I normally run submerged during the day, whatever the weather. Then its recharging on the surface at night.

Do you play SHIII on a laptop? I do and it's a great way to enjoy other forms of media while still continuing a mission.

Same here, november 1939, not much to do in the north sea east of Britain, so I raided some ports. Went into Lerwick sub base, found an anchored DD and armed trawler, they are now sleeping with the fishes. There was also a lone sub (S-class?) in dock but 3 torps kept bouncing off him and exploded hitting the concrete walls... I damaged it (heavy listing on bow) but didn't get it reported as sunk.

Went out of Lerwick, after three more days of patrols I got bored again so went into Hartlepool. I didn't even have to sneak in at night - attack started 9:00 am. Just one DD patrol that I sunk at the second torp and one armed trawler that my brave gunner blew to pieces within several well placed rounds. So free hunting now in the port, no subnets, no mines, 3 small and 2 medium merchants stationary waiting to be picked up. It's 11:00 am and two are down now and I'm waiting for flooding on the other three to do its damage before deciding who gets the last two eels..

So be brave early in the war, later it won't be so easy. Otherwise in patrols I dive regularly, stop all engines and make a 360 scan listening to sonar at max level myself, I often pick up things that the AI would not pick up... I found this way a large polish merchant fleeing to Britain and a couple of small british merchants. And a lot of neutrals (norwegian, sweedish), those really piss me off - you end up chasing them up for hours to get in visual range just to find out they're off limits...

Now if only those pesky Hurricanes would stop harrasing me durring the day, I lost two brave seamen to their machineguns...
