I sunk HMS Rodney, then reloaded and expended the last of my torpedo's on the other ships, at this point I realised there weren't any destroyers and the merchant ships weren't armed so I just went back and forth within the convoy using the deck gun and 20mm canon to sink every ship I could, I think I sunk close to 30 ships in the end all in one place.

Impressive!
I too have just begun another campaign with the VIIB and sank 12 Polish ships in my 2nd mission. I have just completed my 3rd patrol and while attempting to sneak into Scapa Flow suddenly found myself in the path of a huge fleet, and managed to sink both HMS Hood and Illustrious - made easier by the fact they were sailing in tandem!
Update: In my 6th patrol I managed to sink HMS Hood again, this time off the Irish coast! I wonder if I'll be able to get her again before I get the official radio message next year?
