Aye. In late war it's impossible to get that close to convoys. I think you have to take the long shot, which can require stad readings by UZO or scope. On the other hand, in late war there are FaT torpedoes. I really want to learn how to use these properly because they should seriously simplify the man targetting sit'n later in the war. Two things I haven't mastered (nor practiced much) with FaT - one is getting the search direction/angle correct - my FaTs tend to go against the convoy rather than wind up their target. Second, getting the FaT RunToEnable distance - it's the distance the torpedo will travel before getting to the expected impact point, which is different than all the ranging estimates you've taken before. Is there a way to get this directly, or do i need to practice my trig?
