DoveEgg, you are forgetting step 4. After firing fish, reposition. The further out you are from the target, the longer you have to make the necessary headway. If it's nighttime, you might get away with surface/DA at flank speed, diving close to the time the first fish impacts. If you're in close, I always wait for fish to impact and then flank dive under the convoy, sometimes even staying at P depth to watch the confusion. It has worked for me. One audacious move I made vs a capital ship (forget which) was to put 4 torps into it and dive right under the sinking ship at flank speed, switching to silent running just as I passed under her. There was at least 5 angry DDs that day.
Anywho, I love IRAI, it seems to be quite dynamic. I would love to see different versions that reflect different periods of the war in terms of accurately reflecting sensor upgrades per realism, as opposed to just adjusting difficulty to harder as the war progresses.
