You misunderstand me. You are right about tonnage is tonnage. But what kind of tonnage was important. think about logistics. A convoy consists of tanks, machine parts, oil, ammunition, guns, troops, and explosives. You won't find that on a single merchant ship. Convoys protected these resources.
If you just want to sink ships and not play out the real reason the uboat exists, then that is a personal preference.
Seek out the convoys my friend! You fight for the Fatherland!
