What do u like to do on patrol?

Generally, I plot a racetrack pattern around my assigned grid and three other adjacent grids, then do the same thing in another area, and if I'm in a Type IX, another series of grids. All in all 8-12 grids, and I run several laps around each racetrack. Usually my patrols last a while

first I go to my assigned grid on the shortest way possible.
then I patrol there for some days, hopefully convoy-routes lead through. if not, I start visiting the "more interesting" adjacent grids. when there are only two or three eels left or diesel is low, I head to my home-port.
there are always some lone merchants between the Orkneys and Shetlands, there I use up all my left fish.
usually my patrols are around 4-5weeks.

I sail right to my patrol area without plotting a course. I adjust my headings to point me in the general area. Once there, I patrol the grid for 24 hrs and then head off in other directions, working my way back to base.

Im moving to my ordered patrol zone and stay there for 25h. If I can expect some prey in this area, I´ll stay, otherwise I go after my gut feeling.

I stay on patrol till fuel and/or torpedoes are gone or the boat is heavy damaged.

And except the most ppl here I usually do not attack liners. They probably transport more civilians than anything else. Troop transports are something else of course...
