Whats the most distant patrol youve done in your type VII?

June 1940 - Wilhelmshaven to BF15 (south of Ireland) - not that far, really. Was fortunate enough to encounter a big convoi in bad weather, sunk a DD, one C2, one C3, one troop transporter and two small freighter.

As i patrol the convoy routes sometimes i go al the way to canada (flemmis cape) to hunt convoys. It's not really that far but still gives you some room for action.

Brest to AK37 if i had done it in a straight line there wouldnt have been an issue but because i made tonnes of deturs along te way i arrived back in port with a little under 5% of diesel left or there abouts.

I'm also not going in a straight line bit below Ijsland just to cover the concoy routes. It's just that i like the hunting ground near AK and AJ.
