I have found making these long range attacks are best done at periscope depth and after loosing the fish NOT to dive as it is easier to be detected deep than near the surface. Plus, late war if detected I am by then facing the enemy with my stern tube and have a chance of my Home boy taking him out allowing me further distance to any second antagonist .

I prefer not to fire spreads any longer but fire 4 in 20-30 second intervals on the same course.

Another tactic is to be angled so you fire from 60% which means it takes less time to be stern first and a smaller signature for detection. Again, I stay at periscope depth (albeit a deeper setting like 15 meters where the scope is constantly going under but enough to see generally where any enemy is coming from).

If he is tracking fast for me I have been found anyway and can do an emergency dive and be as deep as I can if I had already dove. However, I will have more Intel by staying at periscope depth and diving at the last minute and knowing makes for better planning.

You can win a battle maybe two with late war escorts but you will lose soon enough so being a sniper, an assassin not a brawler gives you a slim chance of returning to your burned out home in Germany after your nation's eventual defeat
