Frustration is over 9000!

So after coming back to SHIII last week, I'm on my 12th patrol, driving a Type II (U-139, which incidentally was also a Type IID in real life) out of Kiel.

While heading home from a failed attempt to intercept a convoy (Heading straight for my position, no less), we receive a report of a convoy south of Harwich, heading northeast at 7 knots. As my boot is close enough to intercept this one as well, (U-139 is sitting happily in grid AN81) I guesstimate where the convoy should end up after 12 hours or so, and head there. An hour later another, this time of a convoy heading into Harwich, at 8 knots. As the two reported groups were close together, I assumed it was the same group, and changed courses again, this time sailing for home.

Almost exactly 12 hours after the first report came in, a final report comes in, this time of a convoy heading northwest at 7 knots - exactly where I had estimated it would be.

On the bright side, I had run into a 5000-something ton freighter earlier, so it wasn't really a total loss.
