I am on my 9th patrol with USS Threhser SS-200, Reading historical books . I have read that some patrols were routine and had long bouts of no sightings of ships. however being assigned to your patrol area does not mean that you will get ships or targets -- you are the simulated skipper of your boat , and you are in command of what your boat will do . I had a an assigned area of Leyte Gulf to drop of comandos , after I left that area I went west and manged to sink more ships I ended up just outside Rabaul Harbor and for two days I manged to sink 5 merchants and two Destroyer escorts -- Left the Bismark Sea and went to brisbane to re- arm and refuel . than was ordered to Guadalcanal to do life gaurd duty . after 4 days of endless patrolling and no air downed airman - I decided to go back up the slot and station my boat outside of Rabaul. The objective was not completed but the action is in the Bismark sea - I will return and complete that objective once I get more tonnage under my belt. Point being made is that you are the skipper of your boat . changing Mods will not help that . I am using FOTRS as my mod - I hope this encoureges you -- happy hunting skipper !!
