really depends on how lucky I'm feeling. usually I won't waste the torps, because if you miss somehow or it doesn't sink you're going to have a bitch of a time for the next 2 hours trying to evade him. I used to go after lone or duet DDs in 40-41 but then i discovered the tankers and never go back. however during that time I've also raided several harbours and sunk several patrolling destroyers, if killing one will buy me time to escape, by all means. Even managed a stern shot once. After 43 or so I don't wanna mess with them in packs, I'd rather sink the tankers. Intercept convoy, wait for the DD's to pass, then unleash hell. Dive deep and change directions.
