Well, I can't really say what that's like because I assume he has better torpedoes than the steam-powered ones I'm working with. As far as I understand his real death came from the airplanes that caught him in shallow water. Certainly he should have set his TDC to speed: 0 before lobbing a few shots to get the destroyer's attention. War is war, and the U-boat job is to sink enemy ships. Personally I aim for ships with large tonnage, but to each his (or her) own. Based on his experience, he calculated that his tactic would work. Since he probably knows better than I do, I assume that it would have worked, had he gotten the targeting computer on board with the plan.
