Usualy I'll try to reach my patrol grid via a short route, reasonably free of aircraft (IXaholic).
I stay on the surface as much as possible, and will respond to convoy reports issued via radio.
Once my time in grid is done, I MAY move closer to the nearest enemy port or coastline.
If there are still torpedoes available my route back will generaly be longer, crossing promising lanes. (If I've had a dud patrol off Afrika, I may make a pass towards the Gibralter area.)
Sometimes I find nothing. So be it.
