Default Starting patrol with IIA or IID

I'm interested in starting a new patrol with the IIA or the IID.
Starting in Kiel or Wilhelmshaven.

Any suggestions how to play or where to sail out ?
I guess i should be hunting freighters in the North Sea and not from the British coastlines?

Or maybe save my 5 torpedoes for bigger targets, for example battleships, cruisers, aircraft carriers.

Would be awesome to sink a British battleship out in the sea, or docked in a port.
Maybe try to sneek into Scapa Flow ?

aim carefully
especially with your last torpedo
because you dont have deckgun to finish the target

Yes. If mostly played with the typ IX uboat and a bit the VIIB and regular VIIC.

Just looks fun to play with IIA and IID.
Short missions. Raiding and stalking British coastlines and return back to port.
