when short on torpedo's I like to run close in alongside an escort
and put up my scope underneath his gun depression, this stimulates
the SH AI to often start a friendly fire incident.

Note: Im not sure if they did or not but GWX was working to cure
this in their last version.

other good moves

get out front along the convoy track and shut
down at peridepth.
send in a ridiculously long ranged torpedo just a single
for a likely hit. this draws the escorts onto goose chases
outside about 3500 or so yards. if you do this at about
4000 yds the convoy will be served up sans most or all
of its escort, that is often worth a single torpedo.


if moving inside a convoy
prior to making your presence known or as you make
your presence known.
start all back 1/3 or 2/3 and put a five degree turn on the
rudder, when driving backwards rudder direction is reversed
so left is right and right is left. try to move directly away from the nearest escort
fire your shot assuming that your detected make the slow backwards
creeping turn directly away from the escort, aid this by putting
you scope up occasionally for a few seconds at a time so the destroyer
homes on you as he closes he will angle for your turn once he gets
to the 150 yd mark, go to all ahead flank and hard dont reverse turn for ten
or fifteen seconds then hard reverse your turn , remember the turn will naturally
reverse without changing the rudder position when you go from aft to fwd.
you have to go wide enough out in the delay to get outside his side
throwers, assuming your succesful run down his side parrallel on a
reverse course at a combined passing speed of 40 kits or so
and dissappear into his wake and go silent.
as he comes across your six coming about sink im with a direct
straightline aft shot.


when your Zaukonig's reverse and start to home on you
go quick quiet and shut down the engine as they pass alongside
and aft at their point of closest approach hit flank ahead
drawn to the noise they will reverse course for you again
when they do shut down quick quiet again and send them
back up range at the enemy for a second try which will likely
be succesful as they are now accellerating loudly on the way
to the datum they got when you hit flank ahead.
