Happy Hunting Grounds

[Brag]

To all Kaleuns!

We need your help to compile enemy shipping routes!

Recently I started making detailed notes of shipping routes. Like all intelligence gathered, the observations are fragmentary and need more inputs.

The way I identify a hot area is:

Either a contact report or a real contact. This is followed up by actual intercepts to confirm traffic frequency.

A good example: On my way home a contact appeared too far to act on it. But I would be transiting the area in a day or two.

I drew a course line on the chart. Reaching the location, I patroled this line for two days. During that period one large freighter (11K) and two small freighters appeared. Not a bad place to get tonnage.

One needs to be precise as a few kilomters difference you could end up out of hearing range and each ship's path will be slightly different.

Here is my description of this fairly good hunting ground:

AM51 20 KMS south of northern edge of grid square. Direction of route 095-275. GWX 1.03

Here is another heavily traveled sea lane:


Center of Gibraltar Strait to 20 KMS of Cape Sao Vicente. Some ships take an arched route to the north (westbound traffic mostly). Big tonnage possible here. GWX 1.03

In your reports Include what mode you're using as traffic is quite different in the mods.
