A five shot approach can work. Here is how I do it:
Diagram (crude but works):
- The columns are about 700-800m apart.
- Evade lead escort and approach as shown, silent and slow
- Fire as shown, a electic3 moves about 900m a min so time as shown (aprox)
- Most times you get the hits all within 10-15 sec, or at least before any significant change in cousre for zig-zag when your first torp goes boom.
- immediately after firing the last stern shot, turn into column and dive at half ahead(4knots). Once a torp hits, use Captains discretion to escape but because you are under column the escorts will have to evade, giving you time to get deep.
I will prob add more as I remember, (it's late)
This works most of the time. It takes patience, timing and b*lls of steel.
