Uneventful first patrol: normal?

zeropoint · 05-02-07, 07:34 AM

I am in the middle of my first patrol near the coast of Englad. I have set myself up a search pattern in my designated grid and am alternating between searchig visually at standard on the surface and searching with the hydrophones while at slow and periscope depth. So far, nothing. I have begun to exceed my 24 hour stay and I am wondering if I should just head back home, keep at the search, or head towards England where it seems likely that I will find more activity.

Is it normal to not have any contacts on an entire patrol, keeping in mind that the war just started of course.
