Why you ask?

It's target choice. It's a buyers market in a convoy.

While hunting lone ducks, you have to take what you get. Passing on small fish targets can mean weeks of extra patrol time waiting for the juicy targets, which may never come.

In a convoy, you can create an order of battle, a target priority list if you will, and you can decide how many attacks you can make to achieve your goal.

You drop into the Convoy, pick your targets, fire the eels, and drop to the ocean floor. You get to choose which ships your going to sink. And if your inside the middle of the pack, you have extra time cause the escorts can't get to you real quick, maybe allowing you to fire off another salvo, or evade quicker. My most thrilling time is inside a convoy, knife fighting with all the ships.

And sometimes, you cna find real gems at the heart of a convoy. Battleships, carriers, Ocean liners all frequent those convoys.

My first patrol of this career, I slaughtered a convoy, 100k tonnes in one convoy sunk. The thrill of that type of performance is why I attack convoys.

I also find waiting for lone ships to be quite boring. I dont mind evading escorts, I find that fun too, gut wrenching at times, but fun.


Historically, you have to attack convoys because thats where the majority of Allied shipping was. Anything of value was placed in a convoy or a high speed ship.
