I love bad weather to attack.
When attacking a convoy i try to get between the 2nd and 3rd row of ships.
From there i fire one torp at the leading ship in row one and two torps at the leader in row four. Then i wait for the leaders in row 2 and 3 and time the shots so that all 4 ships get hit about the same time.
Now the convoy starts to zigzag but in doing so needs more time to pass my position.
This gives me more time to reload and i'm able to engange more ships in rows 2 and 3.
As i'm realy close the zigzaging dosn't worry me to much.
With this tactic i'm able to get 4-6 ships in the first attack.
Now i go deep and sneak away and attack the convoy a few hours later again.
As average i peel away 10 ships from a convoy but then i'm out of fish and have to head back to the barn.
