Thanks for all the advise guys.
So far I have started my career and completed two patrols, nothin' sunk during 1st patrol and a lone coastal merchant on the 2nd. Now my next question is; is it as simple as attacking only red contacts that appear on the contact map, as at present this seems to be the only way for me to know who to torpedo?
Also where do my men get these lone ships positions from? I have no hydrophone or sonar and my sonar operator occasionally gives me a bearing, speed and heading for a target that is 30km+ away. To try to intercept these vessels I use the ruler tool on the map and draw a line through the contacts path in the direction he is heading and try to intercept him along that line (hasn't worked yet, the contact seems to disappear!) Is this a good way to try and intercept him?
Oh and my last question is should I upgrade to a Type II-D sub or shall I wait a little while, save up some renown and upgrade to the Type VII-B sub? as i'm finding that in the Type II-A sub I am returning to port after a patrol with just over empty fuel!
