To leave or stay?

I go where there are ships to hunt, no time for farting around.

I found a solution that works for me after I do my 24 hr grid patrol.

1) I go to my assigned grid, though I plan my route to give me the best chances of encountering shipping along the way.

2). Once on station, I stay a week or more. Like others, I figure BdU sent me there for a reason.

3) After the week is up, I flip a coin. Heads means head for home, though, again, not necessarily the direct route. Tails means sticking around if the hunting has been good, or doing some freelancing at my discretion. Perhaps a little time outside Gibraltar, or tanker alley, or down to the Canaries for a reload of eels and shells.

I like to think this keeps things realistic. With the range you have in a VIIB in GWX, you can, frankly, sink 100K tons, then go over to New York and catch a show AND be back in W.Haven with a quarter tank.

Assigned grid for a week, if pickings are scant I head off to known convoy routes (fuel levels permitting).
