No enemy ships on first few patrols?

Granted, but it's helpful to know that one could be attacked 'out of the blue' by a B-24 from, say, Ascension Island, when en-route to the Indian Ocean and not expecting to meet the opposition on or above the water.

Until this info came to light I would have assumed a voyage south would have been a 'milk run' until the Cape as the Brits would say, but I can see the reasoning behind making it not so. I still think it's sneaky. It's one of the things I love about this game - after nine years there are still many aspects of it that I don't know about...yet.

Just another tick on the 'things to be aware of' list. Thanks for the heads up.
