"Therefore you do not take stupid chances" from an above post.
Fortune Favors the Bold.
I'll take a stupid chances everyday over an adversary who expects school taught tactics. Doing what is not expected will get you another days fight and most likely a sinking to boot. Making runs flank speed let em chase you and send them to the bottom with one down the throat.
Drop down to 350 feet and crawl within 800 yards go all stop and rise to periscope depth and blast them out of the water with such little time that they can not even move out of the way.
Out run a convoy and sit 160 meters down waiting for the lead escort to pass then rise and fire at your closest target from bow and stern tube and head off to the rear of the convoy flank speed and back to 160 meters.
You have to say to yourself every day ... I am already dead. Once you get that in your head chances are your boldness and brash tactics will baffle them.
Ever went all back full while being depth charged? Why not? That simple maneuver has gotten me out of so many jams. They know your heading, they hear your engines, they expect you to dive deep while moving straight a head.
What they do not expect is for you to go all back full, left full rudder to line up a shot on them after they pass you missing with every depth charge they have dropped. This has me sinking either them or giving my self a chance to then drop down while they are making their turn back towards me. It has sure saved my hide on hedgehog attacks many times.
