Also I had one experience in which I was chasing and killing a merchant with my deck gun. Suddenly my boat started turning around. I tried to turn back, but my boat kept turning on its own. Turns out I was at the edge of the patrol zone and it wouldn't let me leave.

The plus side: It's the last subsim I played in which the merchants would actually try to turn tail and run away from you. Outstanding!

Also, there quite a number of third party utils. You could set your boat and the patrol zone you wanted to go to etc...

Also one that corrected the S-boats. The stock game gives it the stern torpedo, which only four of them had, and they didn't see combat. Also a merchant tonnage scrambler (not quite a randomizer, but close), as well as one that lets you choose your boat, including the big V-boats.

I have them all, and can put them up if anybody needs them.
