This could get really interesting if you can get many captains to join you.
I haven't done a 1x TC patrol, but Am on a low TC patrol at the moment.
When patrolling I usually go with 16x-32x TC. During a long transit I might increase TC to 128x and it also has an affect on the weather.
It is currently my 10th day at sea out of Lorient, France. Position is AM0152 Rockall Banks. In real time I started this patrol last sunday.
And right now it is getting a bit boring since I haven't had any contacts so far.
I'm open for the idea of yours. And am excited to see how this turns out
