I have always found the Irish Sea a good place to hunt down enemy shipping, although be careful, especially around the IOM and the northern part of the Irish sea as it contains a number of sections which have regular destroyer patrols.

The off-shoot of the area though is that alot of the Irish Sea and Bristol channel is of depths ranging from as shallow as 30m to around 90m at it's deepest points, so if you do find yourself under attack from destroyers, evasion can be a bit of a nightmare!

Ok im sad enough to have recorded the positions of all of my sinkings in a previous career found a copy of the map and coloured in all the grids I have sank ships and assigned a colour for numbers sunk. According to this data AN14 is a hotspot. The grid just north of aberdeen wasnt too bad either. AN16 is another hot grid square too. Sticking to within 50km of the east coast is a good bet too although dangerous post '41. I know you said you didnt want to cheat but its not really. You could start with 2nd flotilla in a type 7b
