Yeah using GWX

Mainly patrolling between Norfolk and New York on the edge of the deep water. Just did a second patrol in the same area, again lots of DD's and few merchants, ran in to lots of large convoys up around Halifax, many many DD's and convoys that change direction every 20-30 km made life real hard. I managed to get in to 1 convoy, took out 2 tankers, a victory, whale factory, black swan and DD, got hit by a depth charge travelling at 2 knots at 200 meters 2 mins after releasing a bold, took out my hydrophone and radar so i'm rtb

I would like to crack the US market with my pretty IXC but opportunitys seem few.

Where abouts do you patrol the carribean for tankers? Does a IXC have the range leaving from Lorient? I seem to only just have enough to make the trip to New York worth while i.e. enough fuel for a week patrol and ahead standard here and there getting in to position.
