Interesting. I tend to prefer an angle that's a little bit offset because I can more easily slip around the escorts. Then drive right at high value units.
In NATO EXWAR, the escorts are picked randomly so it should be different every time. Also, in a later version, I also added airborn helos, because I realized they never had time to get a helo airborn. Sometimes there's VLA and sometimes there's not. It depends on what escorts are drawn. Also, the shotgun ship should always have VLA.

I thought this one was a bit harder than the other one. The screen was harder to penetrate, and the skimmers had more firepower to bring to bear. I don't think the other scenario had any ASROC shooters, and there were definitely no airborne helos. Skimmers generally do a poor job of reacting because they race in with their sonars washed out, so helos and ASROC capability can make a big difference.
