It all depends on the situation and the boat I am driving... I usually only attack tramp steamers when I can use the deck gun. If you are in a type II with only a handful of fish, it's not the same as being in a IX with plenty of them... You think twice before shooting, as a tramp can sometimes take 2 or more torps - not counting possible missing or premature exploding or dud... Tonight I encountered a tramp which was already burning in heavy weather, one fish on a surface attack did the job. As I was on a IXb, it was worth it.
