Thanks for that info about the hydrophones. I'll change it back (maybe). I finally found a convoy, but for some reason all my torpedoes missed except for the last aft torpedo. Since there were no destroyers around I deciced to surface and try the deck gun.
Apparently in SH5 it takes a lot of shots to sink a merchant ship. The sky was dark so I had a nice night blasting merchants. I lighted up all eight merchants including the one I had torpedoed, but I was only able to sink two after exhausting all of my ammo.
I thought sure the merchants would go to the bottom but they just continued on.
What is the correct strategy? I suspect I should concentrate on one ship at a time. I figured it would be best to hit all merchants to slow them and then finish them off. Obviously that didn't work. And I got to get my torpedo accuracy up.
