But the stern tubes are usefull they just take a little more planning to set up a shot.

Steamwake,
When encountering a DD bearing down on you, I go for a 0 angle on the bow of the DD. And I wait until he's less than 800 meters from me. In Sh3 it worked almost everytime. Mush Morton (USN) used the "down the throat" shot quite effectively in the war
