Hi,
I'm trying to get back into SH4 TMO 2.5. I stopped at one point because TMO 2.5 seemed too difficult for me. So here I am again.
It's 10/44 and I have sonar but can't remember which ship I have. It's got 4 forward torpedoes and two aft. Full complement of fuel and ammo.
I've come across a 17 ship convoy that appears to be defended by 7 destroyers deployed around the perimeter.

So I have a few questions;
1. Does anyone really go after these types of convoys? It seems rather perilous to me.
2. Since this isn't a "typical" straight line convoy I would assume the tactics would be quite different when moving in for a kill. Are there some decent threads here that might lend a hand? (Haven't searched yet so sorry if I get on anyone's nerve about that point)
3. What's the challenge here? I'm curious to know what other commanders would do in a situation like this. What would you try and why? (I know, a big "What the universe all about" type question)
I appreciate anyone that takes time to answer.
Thanks,
-Matt
