In sh4 I've had successful attacks on DDs by goading them with my scope and pinging them, where upon the charge. We race at one another, while I'm at PD, and I fire on the at about 700 yards. I see them turn, I turn the other way and dive. They turn too late and the fish catches them midships or the stern, usually resulting in a one hit kill. If not they are so badly damaged they run away.

I've done this to clear out 3 DDs leaving an undefended convoy for me to have my way with using my deck gun! :-)

This was stock game and early war. They seem to get a bit smarter in 42-43...
