And anyway what is great in this game is that there is no "set piece" tactic, it's all depending of the tactical situation, the environment, the weather, the type of sub, the type of DD, the experience of their crew, the time of day/night, the year we're on, etc...
I think all the guys playing for some time now have been sunk enough times to know that what worked in one situation did not work on some other.
So we all developped our own tactics with experience, and although there are some general tips, it's part of the pleasure to try different things to find out by yourself.
My favourite tactic is definitely to plan my attacks so I have a very reasonable chance to get away undetected, even if it means sinking only 1 or 2 ships in a convoy instead of 4 or 5 (or even let it go). If we look at our careers, most of us will find that greed was the main reason why we got sunk.
I hate going back from a IXB or IXC to a IIa in Kiel in Sept 39 again...
