The Long Patrols

`I have been trying to get a career started. I am on the second try now. So it begins just after the Pearl Harbor attack. I have to sail from PH to near the Japan coast. Which is Very Long and boring. I made it through a first mission where I sunk 4 ships and used up all the forward torpedoes. But these patrols! I am cautious about going to the high end of the Time compression. I think I saw some messages about crashes or getting jumped by planes or destroyers. So not comfortable about going over 512 but use 1024 at times to just get there. Also if in enemy territory I assume it is standard procedure to run on the surface at night but then submerged in the daytime. So you have to stop and switch twice a day. It ends up taking 2 or 3 hours of my game time just to get there. Or to get back at the end of the mission.

Any tips or tricks to improve on this?
