This game seems to be feast or famine with regard to shipping! Four patrols, nine ships sunk, but patrol 2 and patrol 4 left me empty handed!

Yeah, with those sort of orders... it's basically sink ships/shipping until you get the bell rung on completing those type of objectives...
& I agree with you on that, though to be frank... on a couple of patrol logs I managed to find, plus 1 book I seem to recall reading some time back, that's about how it was... feast or famine, when it came to sinking targets... & it wasn't just relegated to 1 side or the other sub service wise, either.
It was that way for the U.S./Brit sub fleet, as well as for the Uboat arm for Germany... though they did have that sweet time for a bit to which even Churchill got left with sleepless nights because of the success the Uboats had there for that time frame.
All you can do, is just bore holes until you run into shipping, sink it & hope that its enough to ring that completion bell.. if not then is back on to trolling about until you find some more ship/s or a couple to sink.
Any way, hope that this info has been helpful...
Fair winds, smooth seas &... Good huntin'.
