Ok I reloaded the save from where I shot at the convoy. I was off to the starboard side of the convoy. Waitign for them to pass before i fired.
I didnt even wait to see if my torps hit (which they did). As soon as I launched. I headed straight under the convoy (Not the ones I shot). Towards the direction they came from, behind them. This way the DD closest to me couldnt follow and I got out of range of the front DD.
Now the I came back up to periscope depth at the rear of the convoy and shot my last internal front torp at the rear DD, killing it. By this time the starboard DD had caught up, which turned out being an armed trawler. I turned 180 and headed straight for him. Then when I was behind I surfaced, armed my deck gun and came about to chase his tail.
I only had 1 rear left, so I didnt want to use it unless i had to.
By the time I had destroyed him, I noticed some splashes and it seems the front DD had come back to find me.
It was a fair way off and only travelling at 12knots. So i set my heading at flank speed and headed off at 16 knots, away from him. Shooting at him as I did so. Lucky he was a bad shot.
So while heading away I took the time to get my external stores brought aboard and reload my torps.
He eventually stopped chasing and headed back to the convoy. I'm now back on my patrol route. Saving my last torps for protection or something really tasty.
