I can't find any ships - how to improve

[conura]

Hey all,

I'm playing the sim with TWOS mod and real navigation on (though I'm still sort of cheating as I use the navigator to tell me where I am using celestial and dead reckoning based navigation!).

So I'm on the first mission where I am supposed to attack shipping in Danzig Bay with the secondary mission of intercepting and reporting the polish taskforce. I just can't seem to find anything except the odd enemy destroyer (which I hide from rather than engage).

I'm running around fairly randomly just diving and listening on the hydrophone, but my route is pretty arbitrary. I've noticed there's maps with shipping routes, but none of them pass through the area I am in.

Advice appreciated
