:rotfl:


I've yet to come across a convoy (early days yet.. and I need to get outta the dock some more), but I think my first few tries I will incorperate the 'Blind Mans Bluff'.. sit about 2kms off the side of the convoy at roughtly a 90 AOB in about 200m of water.. use hydrophons to assume they're pretty much infront and unload all tubes.. slink away and hope to maybe have some numbers when return to dock.. I'm sure it's the safest way to do it.. :smug:

Question.. if you're in the middle of a convoy after an attack.. how sucessful is hiding underneath a merchant (I literally mean hiding.. keeping his speed and sitting about 50 meters directly beneath him)? Obviously the escorts will have trouble DC'ing you if you're crusing directly beneath another boat..

Deck guns and torpedoes firing with aa guns shooting at the deck guns of the escorts (i always choose the biggest aa guns)

fights in 1944 with nygm 2.6β and does not sink nothing.........:damn: :damn:

Standard attack against convoy is
a) postion sub on estimated course of convoy / slightly to the side
b) dive/sneak between escorts in front of 2 promising ship lines
c) on torp per ship
d) deep dive /escape in 135 degrees away from convoy course
e) reload and kill all trailers

f) if fuel permits and convoy course is plotted, repeat with a)

With torpedoes.

If you can knock out a ships propulsion, you can stay about 4 to 10 meters from him at periscope depth, the escorts will circle the wounded ship. Reload your torpedoes, wait and study his movements, then jack him up at the oppertune time.

They can't get you cause the merchant is there, and they won't use their side shots for fear of sinking the merchant.

I've always founf that kinda strange.....they won't depth charge a merchant yet they have no problem with firing at it if it's between you and them :hmm:

Stooooopid SH3 :lol:
