The Mediterranean don't have the large convoys like the Atlantic. The usually prey consists of a few small merchants in protected convoys. Add to it the fact that in the Med you really can't shot at everything that moves (the Italians being around) At least I make an effort to ID before every attack.
In the Med, it's about big game hunting. Namely, the British Fleet coming in and out of Alexandra. Even that gets boring after a while.
