I was referring to north of Scotland outside the grid area where the two different convoy routes converge. North of AF 18-19 (I think from memory)
I missed a convoy as I arrived there tonight and waited for weeks, literally, until another came. This also had an escort carrier which I set a trap for then turned quickly and fired into the convoy. A DE was moving on me from the far outside which allowed me to isolate him for a Homing fish and I very luckly disabled him and not sink him. I only sank one cargo and the Bogue and with the other escorts pissed off I made a fast line to hide near the disabled DE. I almost made it before getting hit hard by one can which dropped me to 66 and serious flooding but before they could line me up for the kill I got next to the DE and waited for about 3 hours while they eventually left. I moved off, sank my protector and headed for Bergen and repairs. This means I am now ready to sail on patrol 7 in Jan 1945. That means better fish as well!
I am hoping to finsih the war but that may be 2 or 3 patrols and the allies get another boost so I must be more carefull than aggresive.
No problem as The Admiral is likely packing to get away from the Russians and will not notice too much!
