Nope, he wasn´t the only one.
Gerd Kelbling made 16 Patrols with U-593 from 41 to 43 and was 322 days at sea.

Thanks again

Dosn't look like there was another one ?
But that guy KELBLING isn't on those lists either... :hmm:
They are only about the most _successful_ commanders not the most longest _surviving_

Looks like he had a hard time in the med..

Looks like in fact he made 17 patrols? One as a commander apprentice ?

I hated to do this after two years worth of games, but I deleted the old careers to start my new experience with GWX 2!

That is the only downside I can think of with GWX2....the careers are not compatable

Can only advice to start one, too.

Nothing beats the feeling of dying in 1944 in your 30+ something patrol with your boat and character full of medals and experience, just because that

allied radar equiped plane got you at night :rotfl:
