This gets me everytime:
U-108 has been assigned to patrol CF-98. On our merry way down there, I get a contact report of a enemy convoy, about 75 km north of my position, headed NNW at about 4 knots.
I pull down my handy-dandy speed and distance info for 4 knots and figure out that in 7 hours convoy will be located. On my way there, sure enough, I receive an additional update and it's where it's suppose to be.
However, on my way there, my speed drops from 19 knots to 16 knots, and then I see it; the depth meter fluctuating up and down dramatically.
@#*^@*&^!!!!
I climb up to the bridge, and sure enough: Overcast, high winds, 10 foot waves, and heavy fog!
(*^&**^((*#$%!!!!!!
Visability is down below 300 meters. Everytime I try engaging a convoy in this type of weather I either come close to running into them, or I'm not able to target my torps very well.
I don't have radar yet, as it's still 1941.
I've tried shadowing the convoy, but the weather seems to last for many days on end!
Can anyone give me some advice?
