I like night attacks. Early in the war I use steam torps with electrics in the rear. I usually take a single electric up front just in case I decide to drop the lead escort (which doesn't always detonate properly). Starting mid-1942, I start taking more electrics up front. When acoustics become available, I usually throw those in the rear; it's easier to drop the lead escort from a stern tube then get turned around for the main convoy shots, than to use a fore tube and try to reload in time to fire for one of the rear ships in the column.
