Who's made the longest patrol?

Ducimus · 01-23-06, 06:33 PM

As so far i think my record is 90 days, last one was 88 days, both in an IXC/40.

How about you?

Don't be like the Korean guy who sat at the computer for over 24 hours straight...

Unless of course you want to join him in the afterlife.

Lets just say I have gone round the globe a few times now in 1 patrol. How many days that is I have no idea, but I do recall I missed Â½ a year once between ports

Nice. I think my next career im gonna try an IXD2 and see if i cant set any records to rival Kentrats 225 day patrol. This is assuming if i don't run out of torpedo's first.

(edit: hmm would using a milk cow be considered cheating? Technically that ends the patrol and starts a new one)

152 days when I went to see what the south pole was like in a VIIC/42 but I did cheat with the fuel

I am still pondering about going to the orient with a sub with unlimited fuel, then across the world. I highly doubt if there will be any ships there.

There is some light shipping in the indian ocean, but nothing to get excited about. The pacific is completely empty and devoid of any life at all.

And whats all this unlimited fuel stuff, that takes all the challenge out of it!
