Attacking Destroyers - Tatics

Majestik 909 · 01-24-16, 04:09 PM

I have begun a campaign against destroyers. Since they almost always beat a Collision/Intercept course, I submerge to periscope depth and allow them to close to about 200-400 meters. With pistols set to magnetic, I fire one torpedo dead into the bow, almost always resulting in a hit, even when evasive movements are made. Most sink a few minutes later.

Additional dead astern attacks from less than 400 meters are also devastating. It would seem their ability to hear anything in there own wake is greatly finished.
