I tryied once in sh3, a convoy not reported, a manage to get parallel to them (1940 of course), at medium speed and lock on one of the outside targets to measure cousre and speed and plot it on the fly on the nav map. Use the compass for range, protactor for angle. I managed to get the speed and course right and at about at 3 or 4 filometres i turnded to about 20º off their perpendicular, once i had plotted the solution on the map and introduce it to the TDC. I launched a salvo and turned outside their path at my fastest speed. I was ready to be persuited for a while and then crash dive, but nobady seemed to care about me. I hit 2 targets, lucky shot. There was a gap in the escorts, not enough, you have to find the gaps and have luck.
