Why I leave single merchants alone unless big, it's rather silly. I don't know of many cases except near ports and home that singles ran alone.
Early war after Java, I usually head for the Solomons. Course you'll get the large DD groups running the slot at high speed. I'll shoot at em now and then when we have Tulgari for refits., but you'll get several good meduim size battle groups with CA's, some BB's. You can pick a lot of convoys up in mid 42 in the Bismark, near Wewak, ect.
I just finished my career, so may try RFB this go round. Course the Y repeats coming out of the bungo last month of the war, so I sunk it, got torps in both DD's, but didn't sink em. War ended with us demanding the surrender of the CA we left dead on the water, just out of ammo. I died 9 times in 39 patrols...all in Formosa in 44...Next career going back to no cams, no contacts. I forgot how fun it was and try to play for real.....will most certainly find another place to hunt than Formosa in 44.
