Be aware, the "Inshore Campaign" is represented in GWX. You will be assigned shallow water patrol grids near England when the time is right.
These are not suicidal patrols by design. The intent was to place U-boats beyond the dispersal point where the escorts complete their missions and leave the convoys. This left the convoys vulnerable in locations where it was assumed U-boats would not dare go... in shallow water. In so doing, the U-boats did enjoy some success.
Once it became obvious that the Allies caught on to this new tactic, BdU abandoned the tactic.
