Yup, just northwest of Darwin. Pretty much a T3 tanker a day or more. Use your captain ability to call in air recon over the area every six hours. You're looking for ships moving at medium speed - the slow moving ones tend to be fishing trawlers.
A quick point on T3 Tankers - the gun placement is to the rear, with smaller guns pointing out to the sides. They can't target you if you are directly ahead.
So, if you have enough set up time you can accurately place a shot behind the stack and take out his propulsion. Then while submerged put yourself directly in front of his bow a 1000m out and then surface, and sink him with the deck gun. One torp per kill in a Type IX will rack up a huge tonnage count in a very short time when downing these 10K ton targets.
Again, this is probably way too easy and an unrealistic approach, but if you are after max tonnage, this is a good way to get it.
