Had my first successful convoy attack this evening. large convoy with a big juicy Fiji class in the middle.
Decided to send a salvo of four torps off into the area most populated with boats (waited til it got to 0 gyroangle).
Every single torp hit and I was already at 70m, bagged an ore carrier and severely damaged a troop transport. Escorts came after me for half an hour, so I popped up after and got one of the Black Swan's returning to convoy, back the escorts came even angrier than last time. 2 hours later I finally pop up lost the convoy, and I pick up a straggling large merchant, 2 torps in his belly and he was a goner.
All torps expended we head off back to St Nazaire a happy bunch, certainly makes me feel better after my recent torpedo impact drought.
