How do you find Merchants?

When I'm in the Campgain mode...I get a Radio message from command with Lat/Long......Do you guys Chart it? When they tell you where to go? Or do you guys troll around the British Isle's? How do you hunt?:hmm:

I chart it. I figure even if its bad intel, it's better than nothing. Generally I hunt around these charted points for awhile. If nothing shows up I'll cast my net wider. I'm not up on my WWI naval history, so i could be wrong. But I'm wondering if U-boats in WWI operated much like the US subs of WWII, with a high degree of freedom of action.

if you get a radio message giving lat long for a enemy ship then it is accurate information....(even if perhaps they didn't in reality get much radio traffic during WW1) in terms of the game it self the radio message is accurate..:yep:
depending on how the message is scripted of course ..but even the stock few missions with radio messages are accurate AFAIK

So would you head for it? or do you Patrol the English coast....:hmm:

suppose it depend how close you are to the location when you get the message...tho it can be satisfying to slowly track down and find the ship

but there are areas of high traffic marked on the map (with the stock campaign)
so head there you can see these areas by selecting one of the map screen buttons..as with the minefields..but as stock the game tends to throw ships at you no matter where you are (to a point anyway..)
