Hi and thank You.

I encountered a S-1 second time. Programmed the TDC manually, and sank it with a stern tube, but You seem to be right. It`s not worth the effort - only c.a 900 tons of damage, a wasted torpedo + alert.

Now I pay more attention to the convoys. They are armed with deck guns and flaks (February 1941), so using a deck gun isn`t a good idea anymore. I keep following them underwater avoiding the escorts to save the torpedoes. Besides, with more realism - it became too risky. It`s just pure suicide.

By the way...is it possible/a good idea to hide "inside a convoy" and use merchant propeller sounds as camouflage?

P.S. When can I expect T3 torpedoes or better batteries for IXB in Lorient?
