U-9 did up to five weeks in one go, they must have resupplied somewhere along the way.

Yeah, that sounds about right.....the biggest limitations were lack of torpedo stowage room and obviously the small fuel tanks

I would imagine after 2-3 weeks with 27 unwashed guys & all that foodstuffs the inside of that boat had a real U-Boat tang to it...lol.
Open the hatch & pass out from the fresh air...
The extra torpedo in GWX has actually made the patrol go longer. Now I usually have two left instead of just one so I spend more time searching.
In GWX I have found that even a small freiighter usually (in my case *Always!*) takes two hits to get-er-to-go-down...
