They are harder to find. But you build up tonnage faster with lone ships. Your chances of getting killed attacking convoys is greater. And being dead won't help the war effort. For instance I got close to 10000 tons with those 2 ships. If I did that with a convoy what are the chances of getting those? Not with a screen of 4 DDs and a whole bunch of Subchasers.
