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.

Also, i was thinking as i am no expert, that tey did his is the one thing that breaks sh3, there is no wolfpack. I suppose that what they did was tryied this with 2 or 3 u boats in a night, and as most failed and were force to evade they dislocated the guard, and then it came the lucky one that got the convoy all mest up and with no escorts. I he was the one that sunk at pleasure, so maybe those heroes that got those big tonnages were just the ones that were at the right place at the right moment. And that just worked for a while, cause no yanki aint stupid...i suppossed. Also the u boats are the nown ones, but after learning about us sillent service, i think in overall they were far superior.
