First I thought perhaps the convoy is changing course ? But some time later I noticed the common convoy group noises are splitting up - one was heading east, while another dead south, both were moving away from me. I chose to follow the one that headed eastwards.

Mine was west of Gilbraltor in the area where convoy routes break turning either North or South West. It was very confusing & I thought also the convoy was changing course as thats happen more than once before attacking. I have to admit using the type IX can really wreck a convoy . I was always put off using it from the slow dive time..
