I set the "ship sighted" value to 1, to prevent situations with me being off-guard from developing into "shells flying"/"merchant zigzag" situations. Very important! Or in the Kiel canal situations of the "close encounters of the really unpleasant kind". Even more important!! Sure, you need to crank up the TC again every time and then every time again a second later. But the canal doesn't take that long compared to the rest of the patrol. It saves your bacon and ensures a steady flow of renown.
