I always stay in the patrol area, since the so-called "mission" is a hold-over from the early stages when they were planning on a not-so-dynamic campaign. A lot of players talk about moving on the the better hunting grounds, but it's my belief that that is why they get much higher than real-life scores.

But - are you saying that they almost always were in move? If so, I'll have to change the tactics... I'd like it to be as real, as it's possible. :|
I don't know for sure, but none of the ones who wrote about it ever mentioned stopping and sitting. They also don't mention being in constant motion, but I think the sitting part would be more unusual, and more likely to get talked about if they did it.
