I've encountered and sunk her many times in grid BE56 in 1940. Surprisingly, she is especially vulnerable to cannon fire (maybe 12 rounds worth), which should not be. At 45,500 GRT, she should take at least 4 eels to sink, but I've done it with one. Perhaps this is an Easter Egg in GWX?

Park just a tad due south of the letters "BE56" and wait. There is apparently a routing for lone troopships and the Aquatania running from WSW to ENE.

As a bonus, there are also routings for tankers an equal distance due north of "BE56", also running WSW to ENE.

Just sitting there, waiting for the prey to come to you turns GWX into something of a "shooter", but you get surprised by aircraft at times. Convoys do come through come through, but most seem to prefer BE67 and BE64.
