Wondering what your habits are...

At the moment i am playing with the realism turned down a fair bit (have done this to have the range to 'explore').

So i make a b line straight for the patrol area usually at x500 or x1000 where i then get the patrol out of the way. i usually just set up a zigzag and cross section in the patrol area and set the x256 then all i do is watch the clock at every hour i dive to 30m have a quick listen then surface and continue.

As soon as patrol task is done i head straight for where ever i want to explore (at the moment am exploring jap mainland harbors) as i get closer to japan i once again start diving every hour to listen. When aircraft start gettin to much of a problem i spend all day submerged (with a few surface runs to recharge and replenish oxygen) and all night on the surface.

The key to doing this in never report back to base, if you report back after completing the patrol they will give you another task and another and another making you spend time bouncing around the empty seas off indonesia and the philippines. Sailing to Japan is heaps more profitable you can always report in when almost out of torps and get one last patrol for on the way home.
