Default Can't find a U-tanker

It's a bit of a challenge to find it in it's spot

Might it be underwater ?

Go to it's position point on the nav map and submerge, you should pick her up in your hydrophones....they move very slowly in a figure of eight pattern IIRC.

Well I already tried it.. will try again though.. I approached the randezvou point from North, can it be possible that the U-tanker was attacked by airplane that took off from base in Azores and sank it within the rendering area of my U-boat before I got there ?

From what date Allies begins to use Azores to increase air cover range ?
