yes, I ussually go for option 2 but I thought this was a unique opportunity. Being that it is 1939, I use the G1 bubbly torpedoes that leave a wake. I dont trust the other type, at least not until after Operation Wesserabung. In the past, I have nailed escorts but only within 1000 meters, so they dont have time to turn into the torpedo path.
I may just go back to old habits - take out the merchants, hide, attack the convoy again. If I have deck gun ammo left, I let the small ones in the convoy escape. Then I cruise closer to the British Isles, hope for flat seas and deck gun whatever I see. That's the longrange forcast anyways. Good Hunting, komrades!
