In my virtual SH III world, it's September of 43 and I'm on my 23rd patrol. I'd estimate I've encountered about a dozen convoys during my career, so obviously the vast majority of my tonnage comes from single ships.
I'll admit I like the jazz associated with multiple target opportunities and escorts, but single ship hunting is a heck of a lot safer. When I come across a fat merchant, I sink it, hang around the area and wait for another. Smaller ships get a pass. Many times I am rewarded with another slow moving duck within 24 hours or so... and another... I attack convoys when I spot them but am not sad if I don't.
As for warships... I've run across solo DD's and convoy escorts, but never anything larger. Must be a treat to have a carrier or BB lined up in your scope. Maybe some day...
