Now, the good news is that IS possible in SHV. Even with IRAI (set to .85, at least). I've pulled it off twice, though the danger is getting spotted in the middle of the convoy, as IRAI makes even merchant vessels quite enthousiastic with their armament.

What this means: in the night, on the surface, you enter in a middle of a convoy, start to sink ships and run after that - all that on surface?
