[Armistead]

I always preferred the DTT shot from the stern and shot 3 by the wire middle and lil offset left and right if using M14's. Although it's cheating per say, you can use the 40's basically a lil below decks awash, even somewhat underwater and often sink small escorts or shoot their depth charge racks off usually without any major damage returned. Not sure if this voids the charges numbered, but never had one dump on me after I did it. Sometimes in shallow water it's a good last option. Another fun tactic is to learn cargo load outs when you can and what explodes and after an attack where escorts often get close to these loaded merchants is to time a shot and blow them up with the merchant. No credit, but it's fun, I've sunk sometimes 6 plus ships with one torp from explosion to explosion.
