Grid Patrol Patterns

I usually go to 14 meters and time compression to 2048 until my patrol time is over.
If a ship comes to 20 km of my boot, the hydroman will report it.

I patrol my assigned grid square as ordered, varied search patterns/sound check every 4 hours, only time i leave is if a convoy is reported and my fuel and calculations allow intercept, oh and of course regular crash dives and emergency drills..............cant let no moss grow!

If I am reading the manual correctly in GWX2 the assigned patrols don't generate any renoun only sinking ships or planes. Either way it is crucial to use your hydrophones. Your sonar man beats the watch crew by 10X. Even greater in bad weather. It is common to be cruising along the suface dip down and find a ship (not always a Merchant) is just outside of visual range.
