If you're playing to protect your crew, surface attacks are almost impossible. One way to test all your motives is have the next/previos cam on and put it on the nearest dd as you make your attack. I took a lot of time studying how they react, often switching from ship to ship. You can change speed, ect....and then the guns start turning. I even changed direction once and the second I did, his guns started turning.
I did a few last night. One a fairly large convoy. The light fog helped a lot and I got within 1600 yards before a ship opened up. Everyone mentioned many good factors, but the game isn't real life in this aspect. I'll stick to submerged attacks. One good shell hit can kill all your best gunners.
