TMO comes with a pull-down map of shipping lanes (top left corner of your map screen) as well as some other pull-down references. Use them.
RSRD is not for the impatient, you will have to go hunting early in the war and move around your patrol area. Later, surface radar will help but early on it's partly patience and good guessing. If no luck in your patrol area then slide over to the nearest shipping lane and try your luck there. Do NOT be surprised if you come back from a patrol empty handed and with most if not all your torps. Not every patrol resulted in finding a cooperative enemy merchant(s). That's part of the challenge IMHO and is a tad more realistic. Finding the enemy easily every single time you go out is kinda pointless and partly defeats the purpose of the game itself.
