In my opinion, it's a waste of amunition to sink a destroyer, in terms of tonnage. I only sink destroyers if ti reduces the treat but sinking only a destroyer in a TF full of them those not reduce the risk.

I only find it worth the risk when I know a BB is present in the TF and when I can see them before they see me, in other words, consider the weather.

and the result was one BB and 2 CL 3 DD not bad when I was not in danger, :yep:

I will bag anything that comes my way, and have sunk two ships from them. One was in the dusk, and my stern shot took out a DD that was screening the hood (I was aiming for the hood, hoping to cripple it for airstrikes and or give me time to finish it off.)

The second time I had one basicly run over me on a stormy night North East of Scapa Flow, and in my best moment of SH3, at 10,000 meters, two of my four eels hit the HMS Ramillies and she eventually succumbed to her wounds. I was so far out the escorts never got closer then 3000 meters as they never thought it was that long range of a shot. I shot another spread at a cruiser but missed, and went home to medals.

that Commander was lost in his next patrol. :stare:
