I just snuck into a task force. I play with no contacts on, so i have no idea where their "sensor" circles are... but here's what happened:
June 1941:
Mid-Day, Light fog, Periscope depth, fank speed, coming in from the side..
I was able to get all the way into the middle of the group no problem and i fired 4 torpedos from ~600m and sunk a Kent Heavy cruiser. Dove to 40m depth, turned right 90 degrees and sailed away. Not a single light escort turned to look for me. They just sailed away into the sunset.
Pretty ridiculous if you ask me. I was doing flank speed, with my scope up the whole time... and pased right near the outer escort screen.
This is not an isolated incident either. This happens to me routinely. I can't remember the last time i've had to use the TDC. Every convoy i encounter gets raped from ~500m. No need for a solution at that range. Just come in from the side, and lead em ever so slightly.
