No, this can just be normal behavior. There are some mods out that limit the air patrols however.

- Second thing is whenever there is light fog visibility suffers massively and I only spot ships in <500kms range, basically when face-to-face where I cant use my torpedoes, any way I can get around that?

Not sure about this one, might be related to the Volumetric Fog setting mentioned above

- 3rdly, Im sad to say I had quite a bunch of careers ended while stranded out at sea because I ran out of fuel, its hard to estimate the range left when consumption while heading out seems to be different when returning.

When traveling to/from patrol areas use 1/3 speed or if playing stock unmodified set the speed to 9 or 10 knots. Any slower or faster is inefficient fuel usage especially in the stock unmodified game. Monitor your fuel situation and be sure to head back or towards a refueling point in a timely manner. Oh, and if you don't already know... when you get close enough to your home base OR a refueling base a small icon pops up in the upper right corner. Click on it and it will give you refueling and/or return to base options otherwise you can spend hours cruising around the port/base and wonder why you can't gain access to the port. I know... LOL this happened to me as a newbie.

Hope this helps.
