I travelled there on Ahead Standard on the surface, setup a search pattern in the area and then tried returning to base but I ran out of fuel. It seems that I was only out in sea for 5 or 6 days max. I'm using a IIA sub by the way.
2. When you patrol your assigned area, is it really necessary to do the search patterns or can you just get to the area and just hold still for 24 hours? Basically not move anywhere unless you spot a contact?
3. When I look at my nav map I see blue, green and read contacts. Red are enemy and blue are friedly. Now the green I'm assuming are neutral, but can you or are you allowed to shoot at those?
4. I noticed before my first patrol that my sub was not fully staffed. Should I completely fill the boat's allowed crew capacity or not? Also, when I get medals or qualifications to give to the crew, which ones should I give and to whom?

I think there is a bug, which affects the game if any alterations are made to the boat or the crew before the very first patrol. I think the sinkings don't register, or renown isn't added for sinkings on that patrol. Some such thing. I always waited until the second patrol before making any alterations. |

Re #3- If you sink a neutral, you LOSE Renown point.
Re #2- Yes, you can just sit still in your assigned grid for the 24 hours, then leave.
Re #4- When you began your career, you should have gone to the "file cabinet" and got the rest of your crew. With respect to medals and promotions when you arrive back at base after your patrol, click on the table sheet that has the list of your crew and you will see that some crew are "highlighted", these are the ones who qualify for promotions or medals. WHO? you have to choose.
Once you have selected your full crew for your boat, you then go out on patrol and Happy Hunting.
