What happens within those dates is dynamic, depending on your success or failure with your objectives. Also the way the enemy reacts is dynamic depending upon your actions. If you manage to sink a lot of shipping in a particular area the shipping will get re-routed and you will probably find more Opfor presence the next time you go there.

Ahhhhhh! You've answered a question I've had in my head for a fair old while. I used the same spot in the mid-atlantic to sink several convoys. Then on my next patrol, there did seem to be less and less ships in that area, found a few but not many. On my third patrol, there was nothing in my little hunting area at-all other than a carrier group and a pack of destroyers! And when I moved my area of operations found a massive, and largely undefended convoy!
I must also admit that I've noticed, that earlier on the convoys in the atlantic didn't seem to have any escort whatsoever, or maybe one or two every now and then, however now, I'm finding convoys escorted by 5+ DD's constantly!!
