Lol when I say the "shoe string" pattern thats what it actually is a zigzag pattern, wow your eel's still detonate @ 200-300 meters?? I could of swore I heard you had to be at least 500m away for your eel's to detonate, I usually attack from 1,000m at the longest an 500m at the closest. When I attack a convoy I ready my first 4 tubes an try to get as many off b4 the escorts home in on me, I've been getting better an better at giving the escorts headaches when they try to depth charge me. Plus I've got my crew upgraded pretty good too, an I just got that Albreicht upgrade, it covers the entire U-boat except for the decking, its all black which looks cool it suppose to absorb the ASDIC an sonar waves if I remember right, idk how good it is since I'm on my way back to my hunting grounds, I'm in the Western Approaches campaign doing the South Atlantic mission gotta sink 75,000 tons hunting between Freetown an I forget the other place. Lucky for me I've ran into 3 smaller convoys that were unescorted!! But mostly its been single merchants, I did pick up a convoy of the hyrdos entering Freetown an it was litterally surrounded by 10-14 escorts I didn't even try to go after it. I know what you mean about the Dover straight, I've gotten pounded a few times in there I try to stay to the deeper sections of it, that's saved me a few times.
