With torpedo already pre-set in TDC, I fire when he starts to fade into the fog at about 300 meters. Even a zigzaging ship has little chance of dodging a shot at this distance (especially if it's big, and I don't even try to attack small ships in such a weather). |
That's about the only way I've found to do it, and it's difficult to pull off, unless you can plot an intercept from sonar bearings. Even then, it's difficult to be in perfect position, last time I did it, I took damage from the explosion.
