Thanks for replies! I was asking because of what happened on my last patrol. I've wandered into a convoy in foulest weather I've ever seen. I damaged a freighter with a "snapshot" from the stern launcher after almost colliding with it and as a result the convoy formation turned into chaos - I was going blind on the surface, with searchlights from destroyers blinking through the rain and freighters going in random directions, appearing suddenly next to me.
I was unable to get a good aim at anything, so I was about to try the tactic I've described above, but didn't get the chance - as I was trying to get into position, a destroyer appeared and started shelling me, so I had to crash dive. I was simply curious if it had a chance to work at all.
