nice 1 hunt

what about DDs?

last time I bumped into convoy west of africa heading to gibraltar (late 43), Ive spent several hours hunting each other with DDs on rough seas....in the end Ive sank 4 DDs (!!!) and when I was about to attack defensless convoy (with only 2 eels left), Ive encountered another convoy going in opposite direction with 5 fresh escorting DDs!!!!

Managed to sneak away but pi$$ed off!!!!!

I'm guessing you make all range estimates with the stadimeter? If so - hardcore. I still rely on the WO for my estimates, and i tell you - i'm ashamed of it. Doing manual TMA with stad readings would be _challenging_.

Edit: P.S. NICE TONNAGE

Important thing is to get the speed, course and AOB right (this is why the 90° method works great). The distance has no real importance besides estimating the torpedo run time...

TMA is only used in modern subs i guess:hmm:.

Make sure they are fast speed (over 12 knts) for the homing torpedo to work. Set it to 5m / magnetic, most DDs are 3,5 to 4 m draft...
One method is having one in the stern tube, signalize to a DD you're there, it will come full speed for you. Risky business though, make sure you're far enough when saying "hello"...:D
