I'm on my inaugural patrol in a VII-C based out of St. Nazaire, assigned to patrol grid DT56 off the coast of Morocco. I've only found two ships by radio contact -- one was in terrible weather so I didn't bother with an intercept (it was off the coast of Spain, and was probably neutral anyway), the other was moving away from me and was already 60 nautical miles south of my U-boat, so I didn't bother with that either. I am meandering around in DT56 right now, completing the 24 hours, and with no ships in sight. I've been sailing for about two weeks and the crew is itching for an attack. I keep telling them that on our return voyage I'll manage to find something, but I'm having trouble convincing even myself... Are there any juicy shipping lanes between DT56 and the Bay of Biscay that I could frequent in hopes of an encounter? I know it's a basic question, but I just got back into playing with the release of GWX 2.0. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

. It's October 1940 btw.
