Crap weather attacks are stinkers but have a plus side.
You have a hard time getting attack scope contacts, keeping depth and angle. No argument there. But Escort-DD's have a time too, just finding you in choppy sea. The hydrophone is the tool oh yes. If you can find the gap it is a good time to test the boats mettle and your navigation skill. You know there's probably a good dozen targets to pick from if you spot them. I've also found T3's large cargo & troop ships screened by other ships or tramp steamers. So, sometimes if I can position and get the boat in just right and avoid getting hit by another merchant I'll try to nail a nice fat ship or two and then maybe even sneek a stern shot on a coastal. I think, escape & evasion is a little easier to accomplish in the chops. For one the escorts are bouncing around and you have cover noise.
