Poll: How consistant is your tonnage production?

predavolk · 08-01-08, 01:39 PM

Generally quite consistent. I had a bump in my last patrol, but that's mostly because of the poor area I patrolled (and some bad aiming on my part). Generally, I find that skill aside, patrol location is the biggest factor in getting consistent tonnage. Hunting the middle of the South Atlantic, for example, isn't going to offer much to even the best Kahleun.

I'm very consistent; get at least 5000 tons per patrol.:rotfl:

If testing patrols count.....I generally get destroyed anyway

For me it's "Sinkem or Swim "

No middle ground on this uboot.

I'm generally very consistent, excepting test patrols, and excepting last night

where I had about 20k tons in various American merchants plus anoth 25000 or so in neutral passenger liner....

oops

Either I don't get anything.
Or I waste 8 torps trying to hit 2 ships.

I never get more than 50k and have never hit a capital ship.

*edit* thats a lie, I hit the Nelson, but it was from 250m range and the 4 torps never detonated.

I didn't see her until I went up-periscope right next to her and then it was to late to maneuver.

Clunk....clunk....clunk....clunk.

That was a year ago.
