Kapt. Casey Smith and the U-19

So I just got SH3 Commander installed a while ago and figured some basics so I figured Id make this thread and give reports as I go along in my patrols and see if any of you all experienced skippers out there could lend me some knowledge as to what ive done wrong and what not.

First Patrol- Sep 9, 1940, Starting out of (not sure where XD but its close to Hamburg) My orders are to arrive at AM41 and patrol

Clear sailing on the surface all the way until I get to the bottom of England, ship spotted! I take the oppurtunity to get a small tonnage as it is a merchant ship. Long story short, it was my first actual ship and took me 4 torps to hit it right (yes even with auto targeting)but I got her!

So I continue onto Am41, enroute I meet a C 3 Cargo and a Small Merchant, but they are moving fast in a direction away from AM41 and I wanted to spend my fuel patrolling so I continued onward.

About halfway through the grid below AM41 (not sure what the name was) I hit a huge storm, and am currently sitting right in the middle of my patrol grid in this storm, I wonder if its going to let up and maybe Ill get a nice juicy target or two to hit before I leave home? If not my seconday plan is to go to a hostile port nearest and see if I cant score a few hits.

So far so good, Ill update later.
