Each mission with patrol grids you will be given a total of 3 grids while on patrol.
Your first orders are in the bunker.
Each grid completed is followed by a radio message.
After the 3rd grid is completed you will receive a further radio message.
You are free to patrol anywhere.
Each grids patrol time is 24 or 48 hours and has to be completed without making a manual game save.
F.A.Q. & Tips
Read before you start playing or posting a question!
- If I patrol the area for 20 hours , save the game and continue the game the other day , this time I patrolled is also saved ?
Unfortunately , it is not...You shouldn't reload the game or leaving the area until those 48/72 hours are passed. However, if your patrol timer is stopped due to mentioned reasons, it is not the end of the world (You'll stay short for just a couple of crew promotional points, there is no other penalties). This also means that you certainly don't wont to miss approaching large convoy just because it is outside of your patrol area... You can restart your stuck patrol timer by exiting from patrol zone, saving/reloading the game and entering the designated zone again....
