Help with Baltic Operations mission

[skip]

Been playing this mission for a few days now, in game daye is Sept 14 so roughly 2 weeks at sea patrolling the Baltic.. but I'm finding hardly any ships.. found 6 so far in the 2 week period and can spend up to 2 hours in real time finding a ship.

Don't get me wrong I'm enjoying the game but my time is limited..

Is there a best place to patrol in this mission.

BTW I'm using the Travelly search scripts and my sonar is working fine, just cant find any ships..


Thanks

For that Baltic objective - I would just sit at all stop in that pinch point and do a hydro sweep every hour or so.
If you want to run automation - try this one "Search Pattern 2" :-

If you are hunting out in the Atlantic - I would set up along a suspect shipping lane and use the lane one.

Sometimes I start a campaign and I find ships fairly quickly , just lucky . Other times it takes a month . Once I had to abandon the Baltic objective and go straight to british east coast . This objective can actually be one of the most frustrating especially if you get bad weather .

Each time, i sit North West of Gdansk, at the limit of blue stripe mission area...and Polish cargos are always here after few hours :yep:
I don't even run other place, untill i fill the bar!

I recently finished that mission because I re-installed, and I sat at 41 meters in the deep patch of water in between Germany and Sweden (?) and waited there because my hydrophone has max depth there, and when a ship passes by I blow ballast and charged at it, but there were so many neutral ships, one after the other, I surface to find neutral ship.

Took quite a while to finish that one.
