Was about to fire when my hydro man called for 2 warships closing fast...Same merchant trajectory!
By the time i had to fire, the 2 destroyers were surrounding him (and me by the way)
So i let them go, thinking for further interception...when Open space was cleared, i surfaced and full throttle to catch back the guy.
Just when i reached him...rain started falling with heavy fog coming! Few time later, sea was too bad to manage a successful attack, and couldn’t see a damn thing due to fog at night.
Gods were smiling at this damn merchant, ignorant the whole thing!

Yep, sometimes it is better to let one go and stay alive to fight another day ... sounds like you came across a Uboat-trap ...
For me right now ... 2H/1940 in front of the Northern Channel ... just not enough torpedoes ...
