If you stay in deep water WSW of Halifax you will be on the convoy route in out of the port. Remember to keep an eye out for aircraft as you are in range of the airbases there.
Bagged myself an escort carrier, liberty ship, medium tanker and a large cargo from one convoy there in mid 43, playing GWX.

Also knocked of a wellington as well!
Not a bad patrol just over 110,000 tons sunk!
