Just completed my second patrol of a new campaign in November '39 with 14 ships sunk for a tad under 55,000 GRT. What I found unusual was that I never encountered any warships or big convoys. My 55,000 GRT is made up of lone merchants and small unescorted French convoys consisting of no more than three ships. My only encounters with British forces was being pestered by RAF Anson's when going round the north of Scotland. A relatively easy second patrol, it can only get harder.
