Been playing SH3 for about 6 months and I am encountering problems locating targets. I am running the straight up game with very few mods. I am in late 40 or early 41. I have no problems in and around England but I have switched to a type IX and I am on long patrols to freetown etc and I get to the assigned grid and nothing... for days...I hunt leaving the patrol grid and most often sneaking around underwater to listen and surface only to recharge and right back down again. Still nothing...
I end up heading back home and expending all torps there but would prefer to hunt in my patrol zone. As i say no issues around England and Gibralter but am I missing something? or are there any suggestions as to tactics that folks find successful.
