Oh man! I'm in spring of '44 in Turning Point, and boy has it gotten hard. My tactics that served me well the entire game are not helping me anymore.

I'm attacking a big convoy at night, positioning myself just out of range of escort ASDIC. I shoot a double salvo at two ships a little less than 5k away using electrics. I'm already diving to 150 and backing away slowly at silent running, altering my course to a 45 degree angle to the convoy's path as soon as I let my fish swim.

But they always are finding me now! Even when I stop my boat when they get to close even for silent running. I try evasive maneuvers when their on top of me, shooting off decoys. Going back to slow when they're a little farther away, and back to stop when they get to close. BOOM! depth charged and sunk to the bottom of the sea. Tried it three times now with no luck.

Anyone have any tips for "advanced" attack and evade? Should I switch to gas/steam and go for 12 km night shots? I'm going to try a few more things later, but wow. I think I'm going to have to go for less heavily escorted or non-escorted convoys and single ships now.

edit: Okay, so I disengaged from this convoy. It seems the destroyer captain's guarding this one were a little too elite for me, which I believe is simulated. I found another huge convoy of the same size and was able to get away Scott-free using my usual tactics.
