yes it is patrol based, you hunt your way to your grid then patrol it, after that it is up to you. I usually follow convoy/shipping lanes as I travel back to port. If it is naval ships that your after the first battleship I sunk was the HMS Rodney and It was the center ship in a convoy headed for England. I have seen 2-3 Cruiser/Battleships traveling in convoys in my last career which lasted 26 patrols before I was retired by SH3 commander.
But if you want to rush things you could always attack a Task force or do a harbor raid. Both are very risky and there is no guarenteed chance of survival.
for mods I would have to recomend GWX3, SH3 Commander, New interior mod, and SH5 water. If you want to try something new I recommend trying out some GUI mods, OLC GUI is my favorite at the moment
