Numbers like those are really only from playing the game as an arcade type. If you play it as a historical simulation, you will hardly ever approach 100,000 tons. It would take a lot of large warships to reach that total. you would also have to let a lot of targets go unharmed to find them, something skippers did not do.

So I like to play as a skipper in the 40's, with all the frustrations endured by the submariners then. I want to play a historical WW2 simulation, not an arcade game.

Playing TMO+RSRD, early war unreliable torpedoes, in a Porpoise (16 fish), I'm happy with 10,000 tons.
20,000 tons would be a cause for much celebration.

I had ~13000 on my last patrol. Would have been ~23000 if I hadn't run into the world's luckiest tanker.

Nippon Maru Tanker Sighted
14 torpedoes fired
Duds

Only got one torpedo hit, forward, and ran out of DG shells trying to finish him off

My record is 0 :P. I have yet to encounter a ship in my patrol.
