This is something that has me thinking everytime I come across it in either SH3, or 4. You are given orders to patrol a specific area. What happens (I'm sure this happened in RL as well) if en route to your patrol area, you happen to be in the vicinity of a convoy, or other juicy target? This happens to me constantly, and I always end up useing my torpedoes befor I reach my patrol area.

Did the guys in RL take advantage of this kind of opportunity (I can't see how they could'nt), or did they duck all other targets until they got to their specified patrol zone?
