New to the game - nothing much seems to happen?

I'm new to SH3 and really enjoying it but am finding that I don't get very much action on my patrols. I love realism in my games so I have it set to 100% and am using RuB 1.44.

I will go on patrols to my designated patrol zone, patrol it for 24 hours as requested and then head straight back to base, as that's all I am able to do given the small range of the starting sub - type IIA (I've been quite close to running out of fuel on a number of occasions).

The problem is that I don't seem to be running into many enemy ships. It seems I might find one cargo or merchant on the way home if i'm lucky or some of the time, none at all.

Anyway, my question is, do rendezvous with the enemy become a bit more frequent later in the game as the war hots up a bit? Or is it just a case that because of the short range of the type IIA that i'm just not covering enough sea to be actively engaging enemies on a regular basis.

I should add that I always have a WO while surfaced and a sonar operator while submerged.
