Just ran into a 8 ship convoy escorted by 5 small DD's, and they were perfectly happy to not depth charge me, and stayed in a nice place doing 5 knots until I lined up a shot on them. When I did get to surface, I sank 2 with my Porpoise deck gun, and and last one fled..

is this normal? Just seems odd that I could fend off ships that should be vastly superior to me on the surface anyhow.

Thanks!
