Well worth trying, especially early war. Mid 1942 on and it gets very, very difficult while tackling a convoy. Singles are still pretty easy but beware the guns. They can ruin your day...I mean night.
Pulling off a sucessful night surface attack against a convoy and escaping on the surface while watching the escorts shoot strshells off in the wrong direction because the escorts have no idea where I am has probably been
THE most satisfying experience in SH3 for me as well as one of the most nerve wracking.
I've only managed to really do it a few times. Most of the time, the escorts pick me up after the torpedoes hit or I push just a little toooo close and get spotted and have to run.
When you get late war, making surface attacks against convoys with radar equipped escorts becomes almost impossible. I find myself making submerged attacks at dawn/dusk/daylight more and more. By mid to late 1943, even that borders on suicide. Why pick on convoys anyway?
