Yes, happens to me also, but it's very rare, as Irish1958 said you must look for traffic lanes, there's always a nice convoy to hunt, in my current patrol I spent 30 dyas without a worthy target and 80% of the days with heavy fog and high seas, I was about to give up and RTB when I pick up a faint sound on a hydro check, it "was" a large convoy, I started shadowing it and suddenly the weather improves , now I have only two torpedoes left and sunk 8 large ships in three different attacks, hit and run before they have a chance to get a good lock on me, and heading back to base running on fumes, patience is always rewarded.
