That is how they do it. I never just sit and wait for a ship to cross my path bad idea.If you want to think of finding a ship/convoy as random then by just sitting in one spot not moving you greatly reduce the odds that you will find something. I feel it is better to sail a patern in your assigned area you have a far better chance of finding something.
Once you have the SJ radar you will be able to pick up anything that comes within 20 miles(40,000yds) of your sub and the more area you sail in with your radar sweeping the more you are covering. On the other hand if you just simply sit in one place a target is going to have to do one of 2 things
1)sail into radar/visual range
2) sail into sonar range a mere 10,000 yds at best
by moving around inside your patrol you increase the odds that you will find a target.RSRD I am not so crazy for but if you like it fine as well but if you havent really figured the none RSRD finding ships system that suits you best Id not bother with RSRD.
