I've been wondering about this one. Not being au fait with the files and modding in general I've not peeked into the text to check for myself, but I have a nagging suspicion that the grid is merely eye candy in terms of defining an area to patrol. Every time I go on patrol in a U-boat I get a radio message a fair distance from the assigned grid square, not as I cross the threshold. Now in the US game, you got said message at the outer boundary of the patrol area radius - be that 75nm, 150nm or whatever from the marker. It seems that patrol missions in the U-Boat game seem to follow the US game circular patrol area radius rather than the square. I may however be entirely wrong on that one.
