I finally have a VII, completed patrol somewhere in AN, North Sea, but encountered nothing. After patrol, sunk two coastal merchants. 10 Torpedoes left, so lying about close to Hartlepool.
Weather is abysmal, but other boats seem to be having fun. Twice I've been stalking a merchant, lining up, then suddenly they disappear. How other commanders manage it in this weather...
Hoping weather clears soon. Or, should I head south to the Dover? Lots of fuel, 10 torpedoes, what to do?

The other way. Go north, young man.
The southern portion of AN18 & AN44 is a goldmine, usualy reserved for IIs.
All the north-south traffic has to pass that peninsula.
Good hunting.
