I am asked to patroll BD91 its on the US Coast I don't have the range to do it even at ahead slow. I am in a VIIB Sub.

ahead slow is not the most economic power setting for your boat, your better off with ahead one third.... nevertheless, that's entirely besides the point: the real issue is that Bdu is just wack, ignore it if it's simply impossible to acomplish.

It's a one way ticket for Bernard.

Request a change - in other words, change the patrol grid yourself.

- If before the patrol, use SH3Cmdr or edit the relevant PatrolArea entry in Patrols_0.cfg.

- If mid-patrol, save/exit the patrol (no need to exit SH3 though) and edit the PatrolArea entry in the relevant save folder's .psc file (it's a text file). Just remember that Patrol 5's save files (for example) are stored under folder titled 4.
