Any luck near Freetown?

When I went down there in early 1940, all I found was a heap of destroyer traffic constantly going back and forth. Picked up about 6 different DD's doing laps.

Yea, I saw the same group of destroyers. They patrol all up along the coast north of Freetown. Ironic considering there doesn't seem to be any merchant traffic to protect...

And I am using GWX3, but unfortunately still haven't really seen anything.

Yes. June of '41, and have been following a north bound convoy for 5 days. Have sank 2 tankers, 2 cargo, and one flower. Picked them up off of Freetown.

Convoys from Freetown move close to a north-south line south of the Cape Verde line. You should be able to find one and follow it attacking every night. Good sport there.

Pick a point about 50 kms east of Sal Island, draw a line toward the south and place yourself on that line NW of Freetown, you're bound to intercept a convoy

No, there's a Prisiontown, it is next to Freetown.

Some patrols are like that... just like in real life. Hang in there.
