I can pull night surface attacks off running decks awash at about 2500 yards.

A better tactic is to run on the surface and shoot a M14 from long range, say 5500 yards when you can't be seen and haul arse. Try to hit something, but that's not the goal. The DD's will go looking where the torp came from for a fairly long time, but you're long gone. This will leave a flank of the convoy exposed and you can then go in and do a night surface attack from 2000 yards, turn and haul arse. Again the DD's will come, but you'll be gone again, so attack the other weak flank. The goal is to keep the escorts dancing where you were and keep repeating the cycle.

If you get hits, don't hang around wasting time finishing off damaged ships, keep moving, you can clean up once your attack is done with the DG...and no don't be shooting the DG while your doing your torp attacks.

Also easier, or more realistic with taters radar fix, not a cheat, he corrected the radar, now you can work in to reasonable rangles without DD's coming at ya from 10nms.
