[REL] Fifi Enhancements for NYGM

Finished first patrol.
Stable.
Fun.
Nice look.
Still holds the spirit of NYGM.

So... all in all....very nice.

Some highlights.
1. Day periscope attack against a convoy. Speed about 9 knots. Heard hits as diving. Sank two ships. Unable to account for 2 torps and what they did. After the convoy cleared the area, went back to the debris field at night and found a dead in the water small merchant with a French flag.
Could have been neutral but it was not illuminated and was part of an enemy convoy (which meant it was breaking the rules on both issues.) Looks like it took one of my torps from the initial attack. Gunfire to get a fire going. Then sank it with one torpedo. Game scored it as neutral for about 3k tons. It wasn't illuminated and was part of an enemy convoy so... in the spirit of the game, I am OK with that.

Some days later found a convoy at night in BF17. Evening. Visibility not great. Determined speed as only 3 knots. Night surface attack on two transports that were next to each other and sister ships. Sunk both and carefully exited at high speed avoiding two escorts.

Some days later saw a neutral American freighter and practiced a submerged attack on it (obviously not firing).

After about 32 days, getting low on fuel and went home. Fair bit of bad weather on this patrol so that limited what I could do.

Very fun.
