All I can say is the Hedgehogs are uber bad ass

Given the escorts capabilities at this stage of the war, attacking the convoy probably wasn't the wisest tactical (to say nothing of a bad career move!) decision on my part

Amazing how I'm still enjoying this sim after all these years. Many thanks to all the modders out there an also to those that have provided advice in this forum

Cheers,
Scott
A change in tactics is usually warranted at this period in time, either attacking from a longer distance to avoid possible detection or getting up real close so the hedgehog isn't a viable option for the convoy escorts.

The former is the safer option but the latter can be far more challenging and gameplay immersive.
