Feel free to leave all convoys alone
At least the initial first 6 type IX U-boats in the American coast were apparently ordered to attack only single shipping (10th of December, under the section General):

100 days at sea. Damn, I feel tempted to try the type IX bluewhale again...

But it's just too scary for me. I think I'll instead try a Newfoundland patrol with a type VIIC - if NYGM has U-boat tankers or supply ships.
On the other hand how will I ever get to the Newfoundland coast in a type VII. I'll just stumble into some convoy before south of Iceland and be out of torpedoes or dead in no time.
I wonder if the type VII's in the American coast campaign of early 1942 did have orders to attack only single shipping? I know that later boats did attack convoys if they met them.
Good luck with your patrol, anyways
Gute Fahrt und Fette Beue!
