Hi,

I have started a patrol in the Med using Hitman's/GWX campaign layers in combination with the zigzag script (zigzag distance 25km). Here's a report:

10:11 My watch crew spots some ships heading east. The typical Med contact: Two Black-Swan and two small merchants. I start to shadow them. The weather makes it difficult: Wind 1m/s, 9km view. The contact is fast (around 9kn).



I follow the ships for some hours and plot their position every 30min to get an idea of their general course. At 14:41 I am spotted and attacked. They have changed course to SE and I did not notice it in time. Have to dive.



I re-establish contact at around 5pm. It's getting dark.



I position myself ahead of them but they change course again. Have to make another end-around.



I guess the next course change will be again in the direction SE. I position myself and wait.



And...



One Black Swan and the two merchants go down.
