My observation is that Englands Eastern Coast is meager from 1940 onwards (but that was back in the stock game). April 1940 makes Norway a good hunting ground. But be prepared: You now may find enemy ships but the torps will suck big time  - torpedo crisis!
IIRC, the IID has enough fuel to make it into the Irish Sea / North Channel and back if you don't make a too large circle around Scotland. Much shipping going on there on the Western side of England.
Cheers,
