ALVAYS ATTACK!!!

(a theme from the U-boat Commander's Handbook)

Wolfgang Lüth (15 October 1913 – 13 May 1945) was the second most successful German U-boat ace of World War II. He also was the youngest German ever appointed captain, and the youngest to ever command the Naval Academy Mürwik. Lüth was one of the only two German Navy officers, both U-boat captains, who received the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds

Sometimes by chance you find your boat in a particular situation that unveils a convoy attack method to be very (tonnageable). :yep:
With at least 4 escorts around, if I can aproach, attack, & escape at PD going deep is an after thought or last resort. Of course not all goes by the book, and in calm seas going deep is a safe bet.

Leading the approach of the escort with an aft 2/3rds
inside sharp curve and breaking contact with an all
ahead short straight run followed with a shallow inside curve.
lead em in and leave em behind.
( the tricky bit is making the timing so you still
make it outside the pattern diameter)


admittedly its been a while.

If faced with only one escort, I will stay at scope depth, turn my stern to him, set a torp to 2 metres and wait until he registers about 800 metres and closing. Up the throat, crash dive with hard left turn and PRAY REAL HARD. More than one escort and it is no contest- get out of Dodge fast.

Depends i think on the year. Early in the war im a happy trigger mad hatter. 41 onwards i weigh my posibilities of survival if it dont look good then i'll fire wildly into the convoy at 2-3000 yrds and go deep and run.

They be bad in gwx 2.0 i got sunk by a tribal early 42 bastage dodged 4 different shots, i'll give em hell this career starting with the nelson on my current and 1st mission in my 2nd gwx 2 career.

all you need is good men.
