[Missing Name]

Task force attacks a nearly suicidal, but the thrill of a successful attack is great. The escorts ARE almost always more experienced, and you mentioned your boat was already damaged. Such a combination leads to a higher chance of being sunk. Also, getting into a firing position is tricky...

Try some singleplayer missions - there are plenty of task force situations there. Or make a multiplayer game (no one else needs to play) with a task force. Practice makes you better... perfect is an asymptote.
