Ahoy and welcome to subsim!
1. the best way to patrol is probably go to and your grid and back via busy shipping lanes. There is a jpg file in your program doc folder with these lanes.
2. you best return when low on torpedoes or fuel. it's best to return to your home base, as to another base will not give you a mission to patrol a grid, but simply to sail home. Boring!
3. your are completely free as long as you patrol your grid and return home eventually.
though the new version of gwx (2.0) will not earn you any points for this! only for sinkings
4. I don't use the weapons officer, can't answer that one
5. this is some kind of little bug. You have to put the officer on the tower manually. the sailors and petty officers are auto assigned to the tower.
