One more thing needs to reminded of. The grid is the most important thing. If you stay parked in Bristol Channel I guarantee you will be out of ammunition in a few days. Tour the Arctic sea and you probably won't see much action.

I tend to stay in my assigned grid for two reasons:

1. I like history and to me some of the fun of playing SH3 comes from trying to get some feeling of what sort of things the commander of submarine would have thought of. A Kaleun changing his patrol grid without an order or an order giving him free movement would probably have been an ex-Kaleun when returning to port.
2. At least once I would like to make it to the end of the war. Every quiet day is one day out of danger, one day closer to peace, one day closer to better decoys and one day closer to snorkel which I have never yet had.
