This engagement started AM73(NW corner) HDG 045, and ended AM49(NE corner)
This convoy had light escort(6), I say light because there was no Black Swans covering it. whew!
The last three ships were sunk using the Falke torpedo, I'd parallel their course and let them go by for a stern shot right down the wake. They surely sink with a stern shot!
This was done with a Type VIIB and I did not use the deckgun at all.
CHEEEEEERS!!!!

EDIT: cool! I even got promoted to Commander Avatar
