In the game...you can't lie about reaching your grid. BdU just "knows" when you reach a grid and if you patrol it for 24 hours or not.

Not that it really matters, since you have no benefit or penalty to renown for following or not following patrol orders in GWX 2.1. So do whatever you please.

It's all about tonnage sunk now so you're better off ignoring BdU and heading straight for the shipping lanes with the best targets.

In reality, such a lie to your superiors would be difficult, if not nearly impossible. All officers were debriefed after a patrol, so you'd have to persuade those officers to support you and share in the risk, assuming no other member of the crew contradicted your assertions. Not to mention falsifying documents to support the claim that your boat did follow orders.

The penalties far outweighed the risk of engaging in treason of that sort and you're also forgetting the effectiveness of the Gestapo in ferreting out such officers.
