MN end in 41. There was only 1 single merchant ship that had a route from Gibraltar toward east, the rest of the traffic was only heavy taskforces. Now there are plenty more merchants, convoys with war materials, oil, troops.. so enough to have a good hunt. But is still a hard campaign as an attack on a convoy may attract much more than the convoy escorts.
Malta area is the major point of interest, there is a new mission in the area and also the Luftwaffe raid the port almost on daily basis. Plus a lot traffic. And dolphins. And mines...
