It's the only place I've been able to use it, but that isn't definitive! In the U-boat missions to either side of the South Indian Ocean you will note that there are friendly (Japanese, in this case) task force icons moving about. If they are close enough and you want to utilize one of those assets to search a particular area or come to your assistance, you can direct them to a particular point using the pencil (I think). I have been doing it just by putting my mouse over the asset, clicking on it, and then moving the cursor to where I want them to go or search. That works for sure. Have not tried the pencil, as I said, but the claim is that it does something similar. Perhaps it will let you define a search area instead of just a path? If you find out, let us know. Good Hunting.
