Are you "Handed"?

[Patboot]

When given a choice on which attack angle, what do you usually try to make?
I've found, oddly, that I'm always trying to get the target to pass port to starboard. Not that I don't take what's on the plate, but given time and choice, I will.

Anyone else have this quirk?

[Dowly]

I usually attack head on. Go head-to-head with the convoy and when the position is right, laucnh the toprsös.

[Kpt. Lehmann]

toprsös.

Are those potatoes?:arrgh!:

<Sorry, one shouldn't post when hungry.>

LOL, I think Dowly has 6-8 friends over for tea.:rotfl:

To answer the threads question:

Don't really have a preference. It totally depends on where I am when I receive the contact details.

If I get details of a convoy travelling SW and I'm travelling NW, I'm not about to get 'above' the convoy and turn around.;)

[Jimbuna]

Approach from a position of ahead....and perpendicular to their course. :up:

I got some interesting text splatterings off him over on the TS log file....really made me blush they did :oops:

No, shut up. This teas's mine, mine alone. :arrgh!:

I prefer right to left, because 0-90 is easier to work with than 360-270 (I use manual targeting with a torpedo bearing chart a lot)

[papa_smurf]

Neither, I attack when I get a contact no matter the heading.

Exactly like me.... :yep:

[Kpt, Otto]

When its comes to convoys I prefere to try to attack head on creeping around the escorts and getting amongst the convoy then attack from within.

For vessels sailing independantly, or straglers, I prefere to attack from the front and perpendicular to their course. Their course crossing port to starboard or vice versa doesn't matter to me really. :arrgh!:

U-27 is like an old match.

After drinking Dowly's tea, I usually end up a bit on the port side of the convoy, requiring a right turn to get perpendicular to the targets (that tea is wicked) :rotfl: :rotfl:

So it was you!? Do you have any idea how long I tried to find it last night?! :stare:

Okay I confess: The other cup of Dowly's tea I use for diesel oil. Ups my speed to 45 kts :up:

[stew278]

I don't think I favor attacks from either side of the target. In the case of convoys it seems like about 2/3 of the time I end up attacking from the port side because that is where I am when the convoy is detected. Probably just a result of the normal convoy routes and my choice of patrol patterns. And lone merchants I usually try to set up with a shot from the stern tubes if I can.

[Redbear]

Never thought about it before, but now that you mention it, I usually do find the targets moving from left to right. Not sure why that is, since I don't do anything special to have it that way.

[Petsman]

I pass usually at starboard . More easy to calc. AOB~90.:sunny:
