U-84 · 01-04-09, 11:00 PM

Well, I usually have only 2 hunting grounds that i usually go to, but, wanted to see where other captains here are having luck at, usually i go patrol AM and catch a convoy bringin supplies from the U.S., or patrol around Ireland, I usually have good luck there.

hi there

Grid BE -39 :

Is a good one ! Big ships there .
But I'm not sure with the GWX3.0 Gold , haven't really tested out yet

Grid DB-98 :

June 1942 innside , 22km NW of NW corner of DM-31 ,
there is a channel for 2shipconvoys and lone merchants ,
big tankers , whale-factory ships and lots of other goodies

Grid ED-9 ( NW port of Spain ):p

Grid -BF-13 :
1939-1940 ( just lay and wait )

Take your ruler and draw a line from the SW corner of BE39 toward the ENE at a bearing of 65 degrees. This area is on the path to and from AM destinations and close to the bases in France.

Early in the war, I hunt both sides of this line, finding unescorted large ships and some convoys heading for Bristol. Often I have found a large tanker escorted by another tanker (or a large cargo). Yum.

Watch out for the continental shelf, especially in daylight. And watch for planes in BF14 and especially BF15.

AM53 and the northen entrance into the Irish [Keltische] Sea is pretty nice. Sank two merchants before I ran out of torpedoes. (Expended the rest coming up the North Sea) South entrance into the Irish Sea is also pretty full. I've run into several convoys coming out through there.

Picked up lots of warships on hydrophones, though. Not sure how many were actually destroyers and how many were just annoying patrol craft.

AM 51 and 52 are safer than 53, if only because the water is deeper.

This is an awesome area in the early war. I followed your line and found the Nelson.

She was sailing in the midst of a convoy in BF15 heading ENE towards the Bristol area.
