(See the book by Calvert about sub commanders being ordered to give a priority to oil tankers.) I also take on any carriers, battleships, and heavy cruisers that I encounter.

(Most of the American sub commanders in WW II were allowed no more than four patrols, with a few exceptions.) What I've been trying to do is see how high a tonnage I can get in a single career lasting four to five patrols. I keep meaning to play the single missions and never quite get around to it.
I prefer to play in career mode rather than playing the single missions.
