I have the game saved at this point because this is going to get real involved once I start in. Now would you attack one or two of the merchants and try to creep away or would you try to hit one of the destroyers to give you better odds getting away? It's a real nice setup with two lines of four ships and no escorts in front.
I'm playing TMO so you know they're going to find me no matter what. It's just a matter of what combination to shoot at.

With only three fish onboard your time on offense will be very limited. Pick out the biggest merchant you have a decent shot on and fire both fish forward at the target, then pull the plug and head deep. You probably won't have time to reverse course to bring your loan stern tube to bear, so don't take the risk. Hopefully, your two fish will be enough to make a kill or at least bring the merchant to a dead stop. After avoiding the escorts you should be able to finish the straggler off. If by some change your two fish forward are Mark 18s, the escorts may not even find you.
