Hey Hadrys,
You beat me to it. While reading this thread I was going to bring up manual naviation. You are right, a 1xTC patrol is tailor made for setting your own course and using the sun/stars for navigation. It also brings about good use of the depth finding equipment at the nav. officer's station when the weather turns bad. That will definitely give you things to do in between contacts while running a real time patrol.
One other benefit of a real time patrol is that you have a better chance of locating an enemy on your own since more sound check dives are done to break the monotony of the surface run.
