I started this thread because I've never attacked anything when the winds are 15m/s or greater.

Now, I've placed myself in a position to be able to intercept a large convoy under these rough sea conditions in June 1940 in a VIIB sub, no upgrades. The time is presently 1740 and sunset is not until 2200 hrs. I went to periscope depth to see if anything could be heard on the hydrophone. No sound.

Now I have no idea if I'm "bang on" the route of the convoy, but assuming I am, and I have 9 G7a torpedoes (including stern and 1 stern external, no externals forward). I am in Grid AM52.

If you were me, would you try to attack the convoy, or stay clear of convoy routes until the weather settles down.
