Favourite grid squares

Where's your favourite hunting grounds?

For me, it has to be BF17 and the surrounding squares. I've never failed to find a fat juicy target whenever I go there!

Lately, I have had good luck with BE31-39. Filled with convoys during early war. I also find a lot of single merchants just north of Scapa Flow.

So far in this career I've had the best luck in BF16, when patrolling around Great Britain, and in DH71/72 when I got sent further south. The former is smack in the Western Approaches to southern England and the latter area is right on the Freetown convoy routes. I racked up major tonnage down there, mostly from a couple convoys that had almost no protection. One destroyer, or an armed trawler or merchant, was about it for each one. And those convoys seemed to be packed full or ore carriers, tankers, large merchants and cargo vessels - plenty of big fish to choose from.

Early war: AM53 (Approaches to The North Channel), followed by BF13-15 junction (Approaches to Saint George's Channel).

Middle war onward: BC43 (East of Canada), and AM19 (Rockall Bank).

AM52!

I love AM65/62 (adjacent to each other, 62 on top) as you can literally sit there and merchants keep coming to you steadily. Several task forces start in that area which is always a bonus, and the Hood is sometimes parked in AM62 until the task force starts.

Personal fav is CG96, Gibraltor is always full of good merchant ships and warships are always parked there and just increase as time goes along. CJ87 becomes my next poaching spot once I transfer to La Spezia, can sometims catch entire convoys coming through.

Besides many of those lovely locations already listed, I've been patrolling the waters SW of Iceland as of late. AD59 tends to have regular convoys with numerous easy to sink tankers, whale factory ships, etc... That and there's lots of deep water available.

The north and south approaches AM and BF are usually the most profitable.
