I'd love to plug in Real U-Boat, but I don't know how to turn some features off (e.g. I'm totally happy with an unrealistically high number of convoys). Need to get rid of the uber destroyers though.
Thanks,

One thing that works for me is concentrating on chokepoints - locations like straits and channels where a lot of merchant traffic has to travel. I like the grids just south of Ireland and North of France, especially early in the war. The English Channel's not too bad if you don't mind heavy patrols. You should also try the area just west of Scotland where many convoy routes intersect and curve southward towards the end of their voyages. If you want to sink capital ships you should probably try a career in the Mediterranean, where there is an unusually high concentration of major warships. Don't waste your time in the middle of the Atlantic or the middle of the North Sea; very few ships can be found there. OTOH, the North Sea and Atlantic coasts typically have more shipping, especially the US's and Britain's east coasts.
