Whats your average?

Kptlt. Neuerburg · 09-28-07, 11:23 PM

What is your average kill rate for a patrol. So far mine is five ships for one patrol. In three out of six I sunk five ships, the other three I got six on my 1st , two on my 2nd,and three on my 5th. So it around average.

Spruence M · 09-29-07, 12:20 AM

My average is 9 Ships sunk per patrol. Never looked at it that way, is an interesting perspective.

My three best:

18
15
14

Edit:

You peaked my interest. I checked and my average tonnage for patrol, which I think is as equally important is: 58,090 with my best ever being 140,089.

U49 · 09-29-07, 03:34 AM

14 patrol (4 in type IIB, 10 in type VIIB)
7,57 merchant ships
55131 BRT merchant tonnage
and usually 2 warships

84% realism

Huskalar · 09-29-07, 04:52 AM

7 patrols, started in September 1939. 94% realism. 4 patrols in type VIIB and 3 in type IXB.

Type VIIB averages:
8.5 ships sunk
54304.5 tons

Type IXB averages:
15 ships sunk
96039 tons

Total averages:
11.29 ships sunk
72190.71 tons

Right now I normally average 8 ships per patrol, as I normally tag a loner, and then I'll find a convoy and it ends up being:

4 DD's

then 3 of the merchants, the fattest ones I can find in the convoy.

papa_smurf · 09-29-07, 08:46 AM

For me its about 5-6 ships on average.

Jimbuna · 09-29-07, 10:42 AM

A lot depends on what realism setting and boat type you use

Kpt, Otto · 09-29-07, 10:43 AM

Im in a type IIb, so my avarage per patrol is two ships. This is because I try to play the game as historically acurate as I can.

Siara · 09-29-07, 12:16 PM

90% realism.

JU_88 · 09-29-07, 12:27 PM

LAMO! I used to play Stock and IUB on about 30% and sink entire convoys! boy - those days are gone :rotfl:

Nowadays about 5 or so ships per patrol, (with GWX on about 70% realism)
If i managed to take out a tanker or two in a convoy - and live - Im a happy bunny.

I rarely make it home from patrols though, I get my self killed alot - probably because I love fighting it out with aircraft, I know its stupid but i just cant help myself

Canovaro · 09-29-07, 01:22 PM

About 4 avarage per patrol.

Tedo · 09-29-07, 01:27 PM

Around 8 in VIIB on 90% realism. Lets see how will it go in IXC on which i just started new career.

Kaleu. Jochen Mohr · 09-29-07, 01:50 PM

90% realism, VIIb (equipment like delivered from factory)

Probably because of all the work you've done on em

GWX 1.03, 74% realism, playing for 18 months...

If I have a deck gun, I budget 1.5 torps per ship until spring 1940, then 1.2 torps per ship when the mag-pistols are fixed. How does this shake out?

1) In deck-gun weather, I use the DG to take out lone, small merchants. No torps.

2) In deck-gun weather, I may use one torp to cripple lone larger merchants, and use the DG as needed -- but I usually try the DG first.

3) In poor weather, I tend to let small merchants go... why pop a 2K passenger/cargo with two torps when one will wreck an 8K pyro?

4) In poor weather, I will use up to two torps on a >5000 ton target. If it doesn't sink, I will follow it at least 12 hours until either it sinks or the weather clears for DG... then I will sacrifice another torp.

5) Convoys... very generally, I fire four, budget for two hits, expect three. I kill the stragglers or wait for them to sink.

6) If it is Hood, anything goes, short of ramming her.

I usually go home with one or two torps, so the math is easy enough. On a VII, I look for 9-11 kills on average; on an IX, I look for more. The "on average" is important... trying to "catch up" on five dud torps in a single patrol is suicide; on some patrols, you are just going to go home empty handed. But it evens out.
