Fun with Convoys
Intercepted a convoy and let them come over me from their left front corner. Lined my self up in the space between the second and third columns, and set up a bow and stern shot for the two lead ships in those columns - both ore carriers.
The columns were about a thousand meters apart, so each shot was five hundred meters. I positioned my stern a little closer to the column it was facing so I could get off my bow shot and time the stern shot so both torpedos would hit at once. Set the depth for a meter under the keels with magnetic triggers.
Both went off as planned and both ships sunk. I think when you sink a ship by exploding under the keel, the AI doesn't know where the shots came from, so it doesn't know where to look. I just hit ahead slow, right turn to starboard, and dove slowly and nobody ever even came around me.
