2. if you are within a convoy at shallow depth, do you still have to make the rig for silent running and keep the speed low, or is the AI unrealistic here too?? ie. how fast can you go before they find you??
3. when apprached by a destroyer on ASDIC, the minimum profile is perpendicular to their course??
many thanks!

Hi mate iam no u boat ace some of the guys from the MP side would call me a mad man but here we go.
1) I have attacked many convoys on the surface in my SH3 career but always fired my torps at a distance of 1000m - 2000m. Some times i get dected but other times not. Its a bit hit and miss. Give it a go and see how you get on. It also depends on what mods you are playing with.
2) When in with the convoy i like to let lose my fish then dive deep to reload. I try to keep to about 4 knt or lower but sometimes you just need to have aburst of speed to get the best angle.
3) yep you are right. Dive deep and remember Bold is your best friend in the later years of the war
