Best Patrols to DATE! (GWX)

So i'm convinced GWX career's are the most authentic experience you can have to this stuff without being there...

Patrol's 1-5 were ok... i'm starting at the earliest point in the war of course.. Sank a few things, REALLY beefed up my aircraft destruction skills on some poor british bombers who lined up way to early leaving me with a stationary target to practice with

Patrol 6 I sank 8 ships, 6 were large merchants for a total of 50690 tons of just merchants!

Patrol 7 got me a Knights cross for sinking another two large merchants plus what looked like some brand new frigates.

Patrol 8 was my finest hour yet

I ran across a convoy between north / south ireland in that little choke point. The convoy was only escorted by two armed trawlers and two flower corvettes. Took out the flowers first by luring them in with high RPM's and sticking my periscope up like a pole. They zig, zag and finally settle up on a final bearing RIGHT about 500m out. This gives me just enough time to snap off a magnetic right under the keel.

The two armed trawlers are much slower chugging towards at only 10knots. They try and zig but end up meeting the same demise. Afterwards I have a convy of 12 ships for my deck gunning pleasure

I took out 8 of the 12 before running out of deck gun ammo. Also took down two planes that flew in trying to help me to the bottom. After radioing a contact report every time I sank another, I finally saw two german destroyers start shelling the remaining 4 ships afloat. It was EXHILARATING!

I'm ahead of EVERY other captain in the uboat aces so far in the war. And i'm playing with every bit of realism except I use my external camera, weapon officer and map updates. Granted I tweak every torpedo shot to the last detail since I shoot at zig'ing targets regularly.

Boy this is fun...
