'zigzagging merchants or DDs' Tough shots anyway you look at it. For merchants, you hope they will zig in your direction. You will have to watch them for awhile to assess their pattern. Fire when they start their zig towards you, and use the torpedo gyro offsets to spread your shots. DDs, because of their speed, are even harder, and they will usually be coming right at you. If you can line them up with stern shots, you might have a (slim) chance of getting a hit (if you're quick enough). Assume the DD is zigzagging across your stern about 160 degrees to 200 degrees. At 1000 yards and 180 degrees (dead astern) fire all four stern tubes: #7 @ 0 degrees offset, #8 @ 1 degree left offset, #9 @ 1 degree right offset, and #10 @ 0 degree offset. As soon as #10 leaves the tube, CRASH DIVE and HARD LEFT (or right) RUDDER. You 'might' get a hit, or failing a hit, you 'might' get away. Good luck!
