Best first patrol i've ever had.

Just started a new career with GWX and went on a rather short patrol.
summary from SH3 commander

sept 6th stumbled accross a lonely medium merchant and sunk with 2 torps then proceeded south towards my patrol grid and stumbled accross a convoy, not too large but had a southampton and a large merchant, sadly i could only get a medium as 2 black swan's were hounding me and i had to dive and get away.
the next day(still enroute to my patrol grid) i stumble accross a large merchant(was in a better mood since i could get revenge for the other one that got away). sunk it with 2 torps.
so once again i proceed to my patrol grid and spend 24 hours lurking around listening for sonar contacts and i pickup a warship contact. I slowly head in the general direction to investigate and discover another convoy. in the column closest to me, very first ship is another large merchant. It took my last torps in the bow to sin her and then i was getting hounded by another black swan so dove to about 150m and slowly snuck away.

It looks like you sank a Black Swan (!) and Southampton in a single attack! Ooh la la... that's quite an achievement! Congratulations.

With you out in the Atlantic, this war will be over soon! Nice patrol!

92,000 tonnes in 2 patrols that lasted like 15 days total. I've never run into as many convoys as i have in the past 2 days and i've been playing since release.
