This is my newist way of finding TFs. First you park your boat of Gib.where the Elcos dont patrol and just wait and wait till you hear a report is coming and attck at night. hey it works for me and i found atleast 2 per patrol or 4 if im lucky.

Yes, off Gibralter is where I've ran into a few. It helps to cheat a little using the save game feature noting the time and place of the TF if you are close and get there when it arrives. As some say, "Save often, and survive".

Another place I have liked is south and west of the tip of Africa. A long ways to go...but they come from Australia fairly regularly...

Gibraltar, hmph, AM36 I say, both those from Scapa and from Loch Ewe pass through there, and you can spend the downtime deckgunning merchies or lying on the bottom waiting for the planes to go away it's fairly deep in some places, deep enough anyway, and not all that far from Bergen, Kiel and Willi

you could also try st. George's channel when sailing out of the French ports
