I find more shipping near my patrol grid than anywhere else. Should be coincidence but it's very consistent. Distinctly remember a horrible month in the arctic. zilch. Nothing to be found. Of course the known convoy routes are good hunting grounds but the rest of the ocean always seems horribly empty for me. As soon as reach my patrol grid though, contact reports start coming in close to my position.

My guess is that the ships are there, but you dont get contact reports on them. I dont take the time to actually dive for a listen every couple hours while enroute.

Could it be that the shipping is always there but the game generates more reports on the shipping near your patrol grid? That is what I have started to believe, anyway. again, it's very consistent.
