As soon as I have detected the convoy or task force I run a head of them and lie in wait. Most of my attacks are from 2000 yards and less.

I just pulled a whale of an ambush in the San Bernardino straits. I caught a task force (Not Center force of Oct. 1944) steaming up the passage headed north. The weather was foul and visibility was maybe 500 yards at best.

I sat on the north edge in shallow water on the surface. I waited until they had gotten close and began firing on radar bearings alone. I then went all ahead flank and moved with the task force under cover of the storm which was quite bad and fired after my reloads continuing on radar bearings only.

I sank a Soryu carrier, Fuso Battleship, Taiho and Hiryu carriers, Takao heavy cruiser, and a Kuma light cruiser. The initial salvo gave me 4 hits out of 6 fired and then they started scattering in all directions. Rear tubes and reloads gave me the rest of the hits and I ran all but 5 fish out from my full load during this time. A few hours later the weather clear and they spotted me and put a few shells in me but I dove to periscope depth and continued the assault and sank the heavy cruiser.

There was a huge amount of luck not so much from my radar bearing firing but that the escorts had been sank during the storm. The light cruiser was the only one with depth charges and she never came close to me. I was strafed by a few planes after the weather cleared but had no damage to report.

Saipan fell and I headed to port there and sank two tankers in convoy along the way with only minor damage from the escorts.
