Having massive trouble with the final mission on campaigns in either era. Despite saving and reloading what seems like dozens of times I've only ever sunk the SSBN once - and that was pure luck when I practically spawned on top of it.

Biggest problem seems to be that I always begin the mission really low on stores because I never get a chance to rearm. 4 torpedoes is not enough to deal with 3 escorts, 3 attack subs AND a large SSBN.

Anyone got any tips for this? Does the boomer follow any patterns in its position or movements? I can usually find everything but it. Most of the time I'm just blundering around dodging torpedoes trying to find time to drop to 5 knots so I can search on passive.
