That's exactly my plan, mate!
I've already lost one boat to a TF of destroyers that spotted me just after I spotted them in the North Sea, in the grid east of Scapa. I ran silent and went as deep as I could but it wasn't nearly deep enough to throw them off. And there wasn't a fog bank in sight to lose myself in on the surface.
I have to admit that for a while afterwards I'd keep asking for a different grid in Commander until I got one that I knew wasn't in the Nordsee or too close to the English/Scottish coast. Then I lucked out and drew one right off that had me down where the shipping routes out of West Africa peel off in one direction towards Gibraltar and in the other towards Britain. Had fantastic luck down that way so I figure I'm due to take whatever I get this time around. Don't intend to push my luck though.
