If you want to get into the Indian Ocean there are two possible ways to do it:
1. Get an IXD2 and sail all the way there following the coast of Africa, pass east of Madagascar and straight to Pennang.
2. If you have any other IX type (VIIs will not do as they have very limited range) you need to do it in stages. Leave France and go whenever you want, but make sure you refuell either in Portugal or in one of the U-Boats in the South Atlantic. After that just get into the Indian Ocean and go to Pennang.
It's a long trip (about 90 days if I remember correctly) but you can get a handfull of tonnage as well. I got about 250,000 tons on my way there.
