Default Ok more on Lifeguard duty.

Found 4 but it lists them as picked up survivors.

More than 1???

How do you know how many you have picked up?

I picked 1 up doing 8 knots NS!

Still boring AF!

Most disappear and when you get to the site you have to scan the horizon.

Hours and hours of searching the ocean!

Got the knack of it now but damn...............

glad you sorted it out.

i found that i had less trouble rescuing survivors once i armed a key to "Rescue_Survivors".
i get within 400-500 yards, put the pipper in the guy floating in the water, and start banging away on the "Rescue_Survivors" key.

Some of your current patrol stats are kept on your orders clipboard, aka: Captain's Panel (F12 in Stock game), but I don't think the pilot count is...
