My last few patrols

I think I tracked that convoy for almost 60hrs in total (in game).. I actually made 7 attempts to get into shooting position but 4 were aborted because I haven't mastered projecting where they will be. I can plot their direction, but it's their speeds I struggle with... So I have to guesstimate based on what types of ships will do certain speeds and a convoy is only as quick as it's slowest ship.

I can only hope I get better... as I know they will at hunting me down.

I have yet to come across a single major warship yet... and this new career is 15 patrols and almost 2yrs (I started it Jan 1940).

Any ideas on the best places to look for major convoys and warships? I'm figuring that most convoys will take a Northern route up towards Greenland and across and I should shift my patrols to loop up that way.
