Thanks, mate.

I guess I'll need all the luck I can get, given what I see even as early as mid-43.

Yes, of course I first patrol the assigned grid for 24 hours, because of two reasons: 1. it brings some renown (not much, but anyway...) and
2. that's what they did in RL, and I want to recreate the whole experience, not just hunt for some easy tonnage. If they had to go to the assigned grid, then that's what I'll do as well, even if this means less juicy targets. I even had patrols that ended without any kill at all. Strange to admit, but I never felt I was wasting my time in such a patrol. Knowing that IRL many U-boots returned to base without even gettting near the enemy, my "zero-tonnage" sorties actually brought me some form of satisfaction: though empty, it's as realistic as can be.
Go figure...
