Morts,
The ships are there. To find them you have to use your hydrophone often. Also you have to be in an area where there are ships. Some areas of the ocean are desolate due to local conditions and lack of shipping lanes.

Yes, happens to me also, but it's very rare, as Irish1958 said you must look for traffic lanes, there's always a nice convoy to hunt, in my current patrol I spent 30 dyas without a worthy target and 80% of the days with heavy fog and high seas, I was about to give up and RTB when I pick up a faint sound on a hydro check, it "was" a large convoy, I started shadowing it and suddenly the weather improves , now I have only two torpedoes left and sunk 8 large ships in three different attacks, hit and run before they have a chance to get a good lock on me, and heading back to base running on fumes, patience is always rewarded.
