That's all I do and it seems to work more than it doesn't .
Yep, that's what I do. Not always possible...but preferred firing position is to get well ahead of target along it's estimated course then sitting in wait at periscope depth with target crossing my bow at 90deg, range 300-700 metres.

Of course we can't always have our own way when you add poor visibilty, destroyers, aircraft into the equation....hahaha
