Rather than submerge and wait, I like to submerge and stay on the advance...
Notice I did submerge well beyond visual range. The first time the target had any chance to spot me was when I peeked the scope out of the water at 1500m and had the ship in my sights at a bearing of about 25°. At which point, I was opening tube 1.
Generally speaking, I try to station myself such that I can make the final approach submerged at 4kts regardless of which direction I'm coming from. So I try to intercept a station for a 4kt approach... not necessarily the direct method. As I mentioned, the initial stationing of this intercept is my favorite starting point because it decreases my workload by not having to plot an appropriate end-around. |
I think both methods are equally effective.
I would proceed on the surface with higher speed and then dive at the final point. You would stay on the run while submerged the last part.

Appears reasonable...  The intercept was based on how I like to do it; but that was only half the story here. The other message I wanted to get across in this report is how easy it is to get started in manual targetting by choosing your attack position. In which case, all of your TDC dial settings are known. |
I think you made your point well! It's a good step-by-step.

That circle diagram you posted is pretty clever... I like it.

The circle diagram itself is not my idea...it comes from Dantenoc afaik
