convoys

[midnightrider1818]

so I was wondering. It is jan 1940. do convoys and task forces become more and more popular the later the war gets. I was also wondering where are all the tankers. I have not seen one tanker yet:hmmm:

Convoys and task forces certainly do get stronger as time goes on.

By summer of 1943, the heyday of the U-boat is over. You are on the ropes and will pretty much remain there till the end of the war.

But if it's tankers that you are after, might I suggest a visit to the deep water port of Curacao? Although it is nominally controlled by the USA, British tankers can and will tie up there. As long as you attack only those ships with a flag that you (germany) are at war with, and leave all the others alone, then you should have nothing to worry about.

Off the northwest coast of Cuba starting in January of 1942. Hang out there in your Type IX and you'll sink more T2s and T3s than you ever dared imagine. If you don't come home with at least 100,000 tons sunk you'll feel robbed.
