ORIGINAL: Randomizer Do your patrol missions have any of the "outside patrol zone" boxes ticked? Checking any of these pretty much guarantee that units assigned will take random walks and leave their stations. Fixed ASW patrols can be problematic since the orientation of the zone is constant but the direction of the ASW threat will usually vary based on your base course (or Path of Intended Movement - PIM) or the sub threat. In fact there are a number of factors that determine the threat axis for submarines and these, coupled with the nature of the threat, missiles or torpedoes or both, may be used to determine the nature of your defensive formations to defend your high-value units (HVU). Fixed ref points are great for AAW ships, you place a fixed zone up-threat from the HVU and they will stay there regardless of the PIM. Convoy Protection Under Multi-Threat Scenario It's complex and most references are guidelines rather than hard rules but have fun anyway. -C That could well be it, I'll change those settings and see, thanks for the advice.
