I just finished my 19th patrol and I hadn't sunk (or seen!) anything in my assigned grids..........until my IXC was ordered to EN98, just north of the Trinidad Passage. Holy jeebus it's the most active zone I've been in, zerstorers & tankers everywhere!

generally speaking... if you use GWX2.1 patrolling your assigned grid is pointless as you dont get any renown for it.

Sometimes I get a ship or two in the patrol areas. I like to visit my favorite hunting grounds when going to the grid and when coming back.

 I have just finished my first raid (2nd career patrol 1 IXC,1st career I did 20 patrols for nearly 0.5 million tonnes) on the P.O.S. and around the passage you speak of,and have sunk 7 tankers in that raid,3 of which were T2s and a T3! An excellent spot!  In that particular patrol we spent 1.5 VERDAMMT months at sea,our longest to date.

Most of the time, I haven't seen or heard a thing while on my assigned grid. But several times it has been a busy 24 hours.

It's usually a bust, but several times I've had contacts in neighboring grids and gone after them. Luckily leaving the grid does not force you to start counting from scratch so I can just go back and finish my time when I'm done. Once caught a Dido cruiser and 4 destroyers moving together in the bottom corner of my patrol grid. Sank the cruiser, and one of the destroyers when it came after me. the other three just ran round like headless chickens, I just sat at periscope depth watching bewildered as they all went round in circles at 25 knots nearly colliding several times. I have no idea why, they never DC'd me once.

I can't remember the last time if ever I cruised out of Biscay through Bravo Echo without running into something.
