Talking of jackpots I'm in a similar situation. In Patrol 1 I came across the convoy you are talking about and sunk HMS Rodney in addition to merchants sunk in convoy and elsewhere, for a total of 106,000 GRT. Now I'm on Patrol 4 and have come across a convoy with HMS Rodney (those British have good salvage ships!!) smack in the middle but no other escorts. Stuck five torps in her to send her to the bottom for a second time. So far in addition to HMS Rodney, I have sunk in the convoy a large merchant. I now have a free hand to sink as many merchants in the convoy that I can. Hopefully I'll get another 100k plus tonnage on this patrol.
