Is it worth hunting north of Norway

Do you have GWX? If so then yes it is. There are frequent TF's and the thinly guarded Murmansk and Archanglesk convoys to be had!

Fill yer boots!

Absolutely! During the summer hunt farther north that's where the convoy routes are. (Check your map) During the winter hunt closer to the coastline because the main convoy route shifts (presumably because of pack ice).

Fighting the Soviets up in those arctic waters is awesome. I loved it when I was up there and look forward to going back. Two ideologically opposed enemies with no quarter given. Man, it doesn't get any better than that....

Sounds exciting - guess it's time to man up my VIIC and pull away from the pier!

Absolutely, great hunting grounds!

Was there in 42/43 and haven't encountered anything... later was sunk near Iceland so haven't tried much. But loooong daylight times or permanent night during winter is something interesting for sure.

The Russian convoys are quite frequent.......Sadly, so is the bad weather
