They're some cases I like shooting with radar from long range. Usually when I know the escorts are vets in shallow water. If you time a M14 right, you can shoot it from about 11,000 yards, so it arrives about 8000 yards on target. You can run when you shoot and be gone or head to the other flank before they hit. The escorts will go looking where the torps came from, that will give you a chance to get in closer on the other flank..
