Encountered my first convoy, full of plum targets.

Lined up a large tanker and a large merchant at different ranges. Fired one at the further, hoping for a cripple, then waited a bit to fire on the closer ship.

I should have done the arithmetic. Closer ship hit sooner than I wanted and further ship altered course. No hit.

Luckily I took out the large merchant but I really wanted that tanker.

I need to look up the speed of the torpedoes. I'm sure it's in the GWX manual.
