If you haven't already, try Stiebler's superb 1944-5 British Coastal campaign in NYGM.

if you put the safety of your crew first all the time, you'll survive longer probable.

I'll generally command a Type VII until about 1/42 then switch to a Type IX for the range to patrol to easier areas (ie Eastern seaboard to mid '42, Caribbean for the Tanker tonnage) then no later than mid-43 switch back to a Type VII due to the faster dive times.

After mid '43 it IS all about survival and picking of stray Merchantmen as to attack a convoy is literally suicide unless done at long range and you skate soon after.

Then I'll finish the war off in a XXI doing long range patrols to the Caribbean.
