I'm patroling the roads on the map thingy that has the roads and minefields!
No ship! unless I go to enemy port and get attacked by DD and sub seekers.

I have TMO 1.9 with patch

When you start your career, choose the Asiatic Fleet and you will start at Manilla, Surbaya or Freemantle, depending on what date you start.

If you start later in the war, (June 42 I think), you will get radar which will aid you in finding ships. If your starting from Pearl or Midway, head over to the Luzon Strait and you will find some willing participants. You can also lurk around the entrances to harbors and have a lot of luck.

Now get your butt in that submarine and help us win this war!

Another pointer/reminder: don't neglect your hydrophones!

Occasionally you should man the hydrophones yourself and do a full sweep..it's amazing how much more you can hear than your deaf soundman!

I can sometimes pickup sounds that don't even register a green light and the green light triggers long before your sonarman actually calls out a contact.
