how to find convoys and ships

If ,like me you are in the conning tower endlesssly looking for
arctic convoys and its bitterly cold with high seas,your morale
plummets . I know mine has. This may help-

1. Take sub to area then save game

2. Go to radar man and activate hidden enemys. If he
refuses then go to cook for special meal then talk
to everyone until morale increases.

3. Go to map then wait until vessel appears using time
compression.

4. When vessel appears note the longitude and
latitude .

5. Load the save game then go at full speed to that
position and the ship may appear there eventualy .

I know its cheating a bit but remember the pride we felt on
the deck of our uboat as we were awarded the Iron Cross
and he said -

"sie verdienen eine weitere medaille fur das esses kocht ihr lebensmittel"

We all laughed.
Then we came to attention and in a loud voice
grossadmiral Donitz said-

"Diese konvois muss gestoppt werden um jeden preis"

We all cheered and knew we would follow those orders ruthlessly.

You can just plot an intercept course with the convoy, or slightly ahead of it, and use the reveal enemies ability when you get near the spot it should be. It's not foolproof but after practicing I almost never lose a convoy...plus I don't like the saving/loading thing, kinda feels like cheatin'

Nah... never made it past Oct 1939, due to restarting when I install new mods. And I've had this game since release.

I like the challenge . So if I add a mod that increases the realism, I start again (but skip the annoying tutorial). As I feel that changing the realism with mods would void all previous patrols. (because I cheated by not playing on full realism).
