Well heck I must have been lucky. I got sent up to Arkangel for the port strike mission and managed to get a night time attack time. Had all the escorts/merchants as solid contacts.
Fired my first set of TLAMs while headed straight in at 090, fired the next set off when I was heading 180 and then turned tail and ran once I had all 8 confirmed hitting the IP.
It must have been luck getting the right attack time because I had no ASW Aircraft or port guards looking for me beyond the port guard firing up their active sonar. Night so no merchants could see the smoke plumes I guess. Also the Arkangel port depth is deep enough that you can comfortably run at a higher speed without cavatation being a problem.
I guess what I'd do if I got a daytime attack. I'd get close to a merchant and fire off my TLAMs, reload and fire off the next salvo then book it elsewhere. Use his active noise to suck up any attacks/confuse the escorts while I stayed silent as possible and evaded.
