I have a couple of BDU questions too.

I was assigned a patrol area off NW coast of Scotland. I patrolled that sucessfully and was reassigned another area fairly close. After 2 days there, spending much of my time evading warships (and trying not to be tempted to TC) without a whiff of any merchants, I decided to head elsewhere.

Do I have to wait for BDU to tell me I'm clear to go?

Do I lose renown?

It's less a question of cowardice than it makes for countless boring hours on 8 TC max.

Also I notice that convoy reports tend to get sent to the captain's message area ('K' button). These tend to pass me by. I think the radio guy reports them?

Any way of making them more obvious like the beeping BDU reports?

In SH3, once you'd spent all your torpedos you could send a status report to BDU and they'd tell you to come home. Is there any reason they're not in TWOs?
