I took your advise and headed for the Task Force. On my way sunk a coastal tanker with one torp, only 3 torpedos left.
Then got an update, small convoy heading my direction. Shortly after that large convoy heading my direction. It turned out the Task Force already passed me and joined the small convoy as protection.
I just made my way to an interception point, dived to periscope depth and waited. At first aimed at the V&W class warship but then decided to go for a large merchant and a small cargo ship clos together. In all the excitement forgot to check the convoys speed, radio message sad 7 kt . So two out of three torps missed. I did hit and sink the large mechant with one torpedo, adding another 10K to the list.
The Task Force never spotted me, I could make my way out of there and am now on my way back to Kiel. Maybe I take the canal this time.
Greetings, Marcel
