Good Hunting Grounds for an IXB

Scheisskopf · 02-16-07, 03:58 PM

I have an IXB in November 1940 and was just wondering where the best hunting grounds were for single merchants because im still getting the hang of attacking convoys in GWX

Thanks

BF22 is active. With the fuel you carry you can go just about anywhere

Schkpf, head down to ED 7* or 8* (between Curacao and Port of Spain) for lots of single Tanker traffic. T3's, T2's and T1's mostly, but a few Cargo ships as well. Cheers EmeAzul

There are numerous grids you can go...AM52 as my suggestion

Maybe go tool around in the Azores for a few weeks?

Anywhere around the British and Irish Coast and in the area around Gibraltar and Freetown. Later on you can also try the areas around Cuba, Mexico and the whole US Eastern Coast. Good Hunting

In 1940? I think id take me a little cruise over to the Halifax / St Johns area and find me a convoy to latch on to, or raid St Johns harbor. Just don't go in too far into St johns, theirs a few mines there as i recall.
