You're serious, aren't you? I thought I had seen others make reference to this, but I kind of wrote it off as a joke. A bearing-only attack using unguided torpedoes seems like a waste of time---perhaps if I had ADCAPs (and that's the only kind of attack I can manage with modern boats, since I can't do TMA to save my life) it'd make sense.

But if you want to throw out the book and sink ships, I'd suggest a submerged daytime attack. Do what you must to get in, sink the targets, and get out to do it again.
I'm probably going to give that a shot. With a totally green crew, my brilliant idea of a surfaced nighttime attack is probably suicide against a group of cruisers. On the other hand, the passive-only attack seems like it would be fun, if pointless.
