Last one I saw, I couldn't tell its composition... it was that far off. I managed to catch sight of them as they were sailing off into the horizon at +17 knots. My poor VIIB couldn't have caught up, period. It was early in the war, though, before January of '40.
I did forget about the first TF I saw, though... Illustrious class carrier in the middle of it. This was a while ago, just after I started playing SH3 again after a several month hiatus. I was rusty, and submerged right in front of the TF. It barreled on down to me, and I lined up for a perfect shot on the carrier... just to have it zig at the right moment (right for it, wrong for me). The zig aimed it right for me... I realized how rusty I was, submerged and ran silent, and escaped out the back end. Got out safe, but without firing a single fish. Good thing, too, probably... saved that captain (only to get rammed trying to sink a coastal merchant in the Channel. Learned that lesson, too).
