Yep, I know that feeling

Today I had my first task force attack with TMO and RSRDC and I have to admit I had to reload 10 times, because I also couldn't figure it out. It was an night attack in mirror smooth waters at a stationary task force screening the Tarakan or Balikpapan landing, which consisted of 8-10 DDs and a Sendai class (Naka) CL. MAybe it wasn't the smartest idea ever to attack a DD group but anyway.

After several attempts to infiltrate failed (was never killed, just scared them too early to score) I decided to attack from outside their formation. In the end, I went deep (75m) at 2kn to 2'500m away from my target and about 1'300 from the nearest DD. Then I launched my four bow torpedoes (Narwhal class) at the Naka class and various points in front of it and luckily, two torpedoes scored me 5'000t of Japanese warship.

So in the future I'll only try infiltration during rough seas on a moving convoy/target if I have to but otherwise attack from outside.
