What's with people scoring 50k tons on one patrol?

I think you have to use the hard setting on the drop down list. This will auto check some boxes for you. At that point, check the others you want. You should see the fuel drop. Mine does. I see a lot of convoys and like the SH3 of old, they are attempting to satisfy a varity of people playing it. The casual player wants ships everywhere. The immersion guys want realistic amount of available targets.
