I ended up sinking about 8 tons of merchant and 1.8 tons of warship, all while having those destroyers looking franticaly for me. I then cruised out at 1 knot.

By the time i was safe my crew was almost suffocating, but we go out just fine.

What did you sink? :hmm: ..... a lifeboat and a dingy?

I had a very successful 1939 GWX patrol in a IIA ... five sinkings!

(sunk a PT boat and a sailing sloop with my flak gun, mwahaha

)

My usual patrol in U-13 had one sinking.

After cranking up the realism on GWX to 100% (and no map updates) I've left my Type VIIb to start from the beginning with a Type IIa. This means that I can hone my skills without running too far from home and worrying overly about dealing with convoys and escorts. So I'm learning the 100% trade on lone merchants in the North Sea for the time being and hope to transfer to a Type VIIb when I'm reliably sinking again... The Type IIa is a great trainer!

It's always a joy to take those Type II's out for a spin, just for the fun of it!

Tiny, cute boats!
