One thing to keep in mind is the number of aircraft that are spawned towards your area goes up significantly after you are sighted by a plane. If you can keep from being sighted it will help to keep the numbers down.

From Pearl to Honshu in a gato class I travel at 1/3 speed ( 8 Kts in fair weather ) during the night hours and 1 KT at P depth during the day hours with plenty of TC.
Have always had no less than 1/4 tank upon entering Midway on return to Pearl.

Run very few mods:



Rest is stock 1.4. Also using your fuel this way you will have a reserve to run "Ahead Flank" when on surface when you might like to overtake a Maru or run from a DD ( well you can try anyway ) and still have plenty fuel to find a refit base. Unless you somehow got your hull looking like rat holes then you better find a very slow speed and pray.

I usually just set for 10 knots (the voice and text will confirm 9) in Tambor/Gato/Balao and have a range exceeding 12,000 NM (assuming decent weather most of the time). Usually I'm in the Tambor as I don't survive long enough to reach Gato/Balao (something about the torps being faulty when I need to kill that DD that won't go away...)
