Absolutely nothing. But the rest of it didn't help, so I thought I'd mention that that didn't either.

Good article and interesting. Thanks. For what it's worth I knew about aspect angle, but fouled up elsewhere. And, I have to admit, the whole 'sit and wait for them to come to you' bit is one of my great failings, since I'm painfully aware how slow my boat is in comparison to the convoy I'm trying to hit. So, I tend to rush in where angels only go mob-handed with knuckledusters, rather than stand off and wait for the escorts to rush past. That said, I do recall wreaking very entertaining havoc on an eight-ship, two-column formation once by sitting horizontally between the columns and launching torps bow and stern as each pair went by. I didn't live to escape, sadly, but even so, good fun for a short while...!
