[fargel]

My boat is in 1944, and I finally got the snorkel, and it rocks. On the most guarded parts of the sea, I order the snorkel up and cruise under water for a good long voyage. When I get a contact report I just cruise into possession, cut the engines, stop just about everything, and fire a torp around about 1500-2000 meters and get a 75% of a hit.

When I have allot of renown to spend, I buy a couple of the homing torps and try one of my most dangerous tactics. When I get a contact of a single warship, and is going faster than 25knots, I go under and order flank speed to make as much noise as possible to grab their attention. If that doesn't work, I surface my boat (if the destroyer is around 4000 meters away) to get their radar against me. When I notice changes on their course, I go back to periscope depth and cut all the noise. Now this applies to both of my dangerous situations. I then go on a 0 degrees bearing and wait till the destroyer is about 4000 meters away, coming straight at me before it starts its evasive maneuvers, and fire the homing torp. I order a 180 degree turn to be ready to fire the other rear homing torp. Usually there's a hit when the destroyer gets around 2000 meters away from me, and disables it. Then I use a "dumb" torpedo and sink it, making a huge explosion.
