Default Happy times not very happy.....

Finally finished my first campaign, and have moved on to Happy Times - Atlantic Air Gap

My question is, how do you guys play through missions like this? I mean after 14 days at sea, I have seen nothing but the vast blue sea, and a couple of bi-planes crossing my path "strange btw considering being this far out in the Atlantic"

Please.. Just a tip or two on how you find your targets/convoys I am using automated scripts to do some search patterns. I am also a happy user of Open Horizon II

Essential that you dive every couple of hours and use your hydrophone.

Send a "Patrol Report" if there is something around the BDU will send a "Radio Message"

What you are experiencing is the same as in real life in WWII.

It's a big Ocean out there.

Have you had a look at the "Convoy Route Map"

You can always go back to a previous save and try a different patrol area.
