An elusive task force

[ppk]

I get contact reports for a particular task force so often that I can't be the only one. It leaves the Blackpool-Liverpool area and transits through the Sea of the Hebrides (''Hebriden'' on the in-game map) and to Scapa. I've tried to catch it twice so far - in November 1939, and again in March 1940 - without any luck whatsoever.

Both times I slipped in through the pass between the two Hebrides islands at night some hours before the TF would be there according to it's position/speed I get from the frequent position updates. And both times there was no task force to be found. I was lying at 25 meters in a spot where I could not possibly miss it - or so I thought - as there's shore within 20k's on both sides.

Has anyone ever caught it? Is it worth the trouble? I was hoping to find some big juicy capital ships. There's a lot of traffic through that pass though so it wasn't a complete waste of time. I found targets for all my torpedoes within 3-4 days of hunting there. Short patrol, lots of action!
