I surface and finish him off with my cannon. I took a few to the chin myself. The third also was hit and smoking. He turned back to the convoy. I was finally able to work like a wolfpack It felt like a coordinated attack!

To make a long story short, there was a forth DD and I was just feeling my oats and decided to take him on with my cannon I won't be doing that anymore because he sunk me
Warhawk, ya gotta get over the target fixation syndro--ye'r nutz taking on a DD by yerself--take your fingers and count 1, 2, 3, 4. That's how many cannon the destroyer has. Now, count yer guns--One!

Now do the exercise ten times, then go to the chalkboard and write 100 times: DDs have more guns than me. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Yes, more cannons but I have a bigger torpedo
