It eneded up being a large mixed convoy. There were more British ships than neutral though...so, I went for the big boys. I took out 2 T2 tankers and 2 C3 cargos. I let the rest go by (largest enemy ships remaining were C2s) as I have already expended 6 torpedos on other contacts. I'm only off the coast of southern Ireland after leaving Lorient.
The same happened for me on last WaW patrol. I left Bergen and run to an large convoy just few kilometers north of Scapa Flow. I expended all my torpedoes fighting the convoy and didnt sail to my patrol area (which was AK).
