I have found two vessels steaming along around New York. Other than that it is convoy city.

It usually depends on the area of operations. Generally speaking you encounter more convoys in the later years, but if you hunt in the area around Cuba, Rio de janeiro, Gulf of Mexico and the Med you tend to find single merchants or small convoys (2-3 merchants with one DD)

I'm sick of being hunted by those damn DDs and stalking single merchants...it's time to raid Dover in 1943 and find me some nice juicy targets......
My VII-B U-47 will pwn you all , evil pommies!!!

All ahead full!!!

P.S : Is the success rate of port raiding after 1943 really as low as 0.01%? I've heard that there are many airshows around the ports.... maybe I can catch a glimpse of them.

No, I think they refer to the British as "Nancy Boys"
