I mean they show a perfect set up on a merchant but how do you get near a carrier with escorts? how do you track over 6 and a half mins a ship doing 20 knots? you cant keep up with it!

what you have to remember there is merchants were the only targets the uboats were after
There were very few warships sunk by uboats and the really big targets were opportunist
IIRC when the Barham was sunk von Tiesenhausen stumbled into the TF and let loose a spread then U 331 dived like mad - he was the exception to every rule anyway - sunk 2 warships and damaged another
No other sinkings
