I sank a carrier that was escorting a MASSIVE convoy once. It was probably the largest convoy i've ever seen... had 5 columns and probably 10 rows....
Heavily escorted with two cruisers of some kind escorting the carrier which was right in the middle. Aircraft were flying off this thing like mad bees the entire time leaving scope time to a minimum...
There was no way I was going to catch them submerged at 20+ knots.... or so I thought, but they're zig zag course took a zig RIGHT down my intercept path.... I sank 7 merchants plus the carrier and both cruisers.
That was all the torps I had except for externals on an IX.... it was like 80thousand tons i was pretty happy
