Here's another issue (this relates to the patrol objective placement shown in your image wich needs to move, IMO).

The game will not spawn in (enemy?) units withn 20nm of your sub.

Many of the ASW patrols, convoys, and other groups spawn near harbor mouths. I've backed many farther in, but not all of them. One reason to leave them at sea for spawning is size. If you happen to show up near some narrows, and the convoy has to render before it passes through, they might run aground.

Many of the (silly) harbor missions also take you to places where ships spawn, so if you are in close to land, the ships you want to see simply won't spawn because they are within that 20nm radius.

I'll check, there is a chance that the ASW patrols for that area are close enough to you (spawn point) that your existence keeps preventing them from coming into game.

Makes perfect sense, Tater. I will move on after the mission completes. I would have never thought of the whole "spawning" issue. Thanks for all the tips. It is interactions like this that will make the mods even better!
