The best approach is to come in from a frontal angle through an escort gap. You wanna avoid a frontal move since the frontal escort is gonna literally be looking straight ahead. The closer you are to the baffles the better too. You need to maneuver nearly as much as the escorts themselves sometimes if the screen is big.

Think of it as a very different game of Frogger.

So 200+ meters for early war depths and come from an angle that will put me behind the DD screen or as close to its baffles as possible. My main problem is I end up in a shootfest with a couple of DD's (who usually end up taking a trip to the sea floor) while I watch the convoy wander off as more and more DD's come out of nowhere.

Fun fun, am going to have to work on my convoy approach tactics!
