i am glad you brought this topic up as i have been remiss in doing so myself.

i find aircraft patrols follow me even when i perform evasion tactics. for instance, i can successfully attack a convoy at point A, evade the escorts, and surface 7 or 8 miles distant (13-15 km). i will proceed at either full or flank speed on a course 90 degrees from the convoy heading and an hour or two later an aircraft is heading for me on an intercept course.

that is an unnatural patrol profile. Ubi is cheating.
