I was 2500m away from escort in broad daylight
. Weather was wind 10m/s, overcast and moderate visibility. Hull down of course. Actual convoy was some 6000m away. I tried to get ahead of it to prepare an attack at optimum position.
No it wasn't -39, it was late -41.
Now I miscalculated convoys course and drifted too near to it. Sometimes happens with Hitman's GUI using UZO. Also å¤)*/ =!>%$@ radar makes those escorts hanging around you like those skin crawling blood sucking parasites so common in autunm here in north. Occasionally they flick their search lights too which indicates you are about to experience a world of trouble.
Convoys speed was 7-8 kts which is pretty much hull down "safe" speed near the enemy. I adjusted my speed to 9 kts and mooned the escort to get away from it. No sizeable diffrence in distance. Geared up to 10 kts, ALAAAAAARM! And lots and lots of damage.
Luck didn't favour the bold, this time.
