just completed second patrol

[midnightrider1818]

just completed my second patrol. got one ore carrier, a freighter and troop ship. went through the English channel on the way out and on the way in but I think I am gonna start going around England. getting to dangerous to go through there. I started my career in aug of 39 and I think it is about oct of 39. How do you sailers usually get to the atlantic. do you go through the English channel or around. I also got one torpedo boat in the English channel. he came up on me fast and did some minor damage but nothing I couldn't repair. I also noticed that after the ships went down I seen no bodies floating. I thought with the grey wolves 3.0 mod it showed bodies. I haven't ran into no convoys yet and no merchants have shot back at me. I sure would love to run into a task force and get some nice tonnage. I was also wondering when will I be able to get get my butt to lorient and get a type ix and do all ships sail under blackout conditions once the war starts
