If you get tired of always being the mouse, you could try transferring to the 2nd Flotilla, getting a type IX boat, and taking your patrols off to the South Atlantic. That's what I'll try if I ever survive past '41.

This is exactly what I do. My last patrol was at Grid CA54 , US east coast with U-126 IXC type.
It lasted 39 days and returned home with some 110.000 grt.
I found a juicy convoy of unarmed tankers escorted by a single DD and I sunk them all.
Of course , after mid 1943 things are tough. Sometimes I am not able to reach my assinged patol area due to damage my air attacks.
