That is what I do and it works for me.

That's an idea to have, but there is an important finesse to know I think:
You don't want to save within your patrol area if you haven't yet achieved the mission goal. The reason is - I guess it's the same like in SH5 - that your patrol timer will be reset if you save/reload. Let's say you are ordered to patrol for 5 days, you will have to do it in one-go in your patrol area - and then save, or you save just before entering your patrol circle. Doing differently will cause you to have to patrol for 5 days again before completing successfully your objective. Of course if you achieve a lot of tonnage in your zone then you can neglect this, you will have a high score when returning to your base anyway
Note that in SH5 there is the additional nuisance that the same enemy (be it a single or a convoy) will freshly spawn a 2nd time after reloading in the patrol zone, I hope this doesn't happen in SH4.
If this ain't so, then all the better, you can save when you want.
