I was basically going by your cards...10 lead for below 15, 20 above 15kts. I just split the difference and used a 15 degree angle since they were going 14knts...course getting heard screwed that all up anyway. I usually drops a few knots when they speed up. Finally escaped. Bout crapped when I got to scope and the CA was dead in the water 1000 yards away...so finished him off.

Chasing the rest and another TF has showed up west of them, but not sure what's in it...hope it's the carriers.

The hard thing for me is when I get found, just about have to throw everything out and just line em up the best you can. I just hate that stad and all but refuse to use it.

Edit...that other TF was coming back towards me. I was lining up on another Kongo and noticed all the ships were shooting. Turns out US carrier planes are attacking in mass. Hope they leave some big cripples...love it when the battle is historically perfect........got two in another Kongo. Cool watching planes drop bombs through the scope. He's still making good speed. Got about 6 US pilots in the water that need saving. Down to one torpedo. So do I save pilots or chase a limping Kongo with one torp......poor pilots. Sure hope the planes come back and help stop that kongo. with about 12 dd's. Very large TG, about 30 ships.
