Target the merchant that is farther away first. This will allow you time to set your next shot while the first set of fish travel towards their target. This extra time can also allow you to hit both ships fairly close together at the same time. Since your targeting the farther ship first the lead time can help all fish to get to multiple targets at the same time. This has worked with me for merchants and warships.

If you can set your set up in front of the convoy, set up your position where you wish to be. shut down your engines, go to silent running and make like a hole in the water. Depending on sea state and escort sensor operator knowledge they sometimes will not even know your their until after you have fired.

If they do hear you first you still have a chance to fire, then crash dive below test test, engineers are always conservative on paper, then all quiet angled 45 degrees away. Depending on the course of the convoy I sometimes will angle towards the convoy so they run over my position while the escorts are searching at my last known position where they could hear me.

crashing to desktop ... just a guess but may be a bad installation?? Do you have SH4 somewhere else other than c/program files?
