I'm going to try to stalk the convoy, then take another run at it when it's dark again. Almost out of torpedoes.
This is what I think is the most fun.

I just finished with a convoy of 7 merchants with 4 escorts.
Very bad weather, visibility at less than 500 yards.

First attack used a sound only vector analysis attack, sank a medium tanker.

Second attack did the same thing the next night they had quit zig zaging
Got a medium freighter with another sonar attack.

Third attack on the next night and the same situation and got a large tanker.

Fourth attack, by dawn the next morning the weather finally cleared and was able to set up for a TDC/PK shot on two of the remaining 4 freighters, both medium freighters.

Had to break off the attack as they neared Rubal and heavy air cover keep me down most of the day. By than the escorts outnumbered the merchants 2 to 1.

A lot of fun, 3 1/2 day attack chasing them well over 350 miles and three sonar only attacks and 5 ships down. Not a lot of tonnage but very interesting non the less. No screen shots, just picture a black screen with little white lines on it.
