You're not on U-96 with Jurgen Prochnow are you? Don't think they even see a ship until about an hour in, and they managed to bump into Thompsen.

It's frustrating at times but perseverance is the key. Try:
  • Hanging around the big convoy lanes - http://etnies.muskatli.hu/sh/faq/SH3_MAP.jpg
  • If you can spare the time, dropping the TC, as you'll miss fewer of the radio reports
  • If you have a decent hydrophone man, do more searches underwater. Best possible visibility is about 12km, hydrophones can hear much further than that
Other than that, it's just patience and perseverence! I'm doing a DID campaign on full realism at the moment which (so far) is going very well with 75,000 GRT sunk in about 5 months. But even on the successful patrols, 7, 8 even 9 days with no sightings at all are common.

Good hunting!
