I am curious how you folks approach a patrol?
Do you go to your assigned patrol grid or do you just head out to good hunting areas?
Also if you go to your grid how long do you stay?

My approach is to always try to get to the grid and stay the 24 hours. Then it becomes a guessing game whether to stay or move?
Right now I am a DH 54 in late December 1940, there is good traffic, except most ships are neutrals. I have sunk 3 enemy ships and passed on atleast a dozen neutrals in approx one month here. I have 8 eels left and approximately 60% fuel. The weather is very variable from storms to clear and calm.
It is about 6+ days between passing enemy ships.
Would you stay here longer or move?
