Night Attack on Convoy
Starting to get the feel of things, but I still get a bit task-saturated... After receiving a convoy notice from Bdu, I intercepted them near the coast. Angling for an awkward stern tube shot (I still have a hard time judging their line of travel from a distance, smoke direction seems to be of only limited use...) I missed and took some mild depth charge damage. Following from a safe distance, I attacked at night, but got a bit too close. The destroyer spotted me as I hastily fired all four tubes. Amazingly all four hit and detonated! After an hour or so, the last ship wouldn't sink so while the escorts were circling a couple of kilometers too far south, I put one shot in to finish her off before speeding away...three merchants down for 13 kt
