Hello everyone,

great forum you got here for a great game, plenty of useful info.

But enough brown nosing and on to the question

Is there any way to attack an escorted convoy in rough weather conditions?

My situation is as follows: sky is clear (day or night), no rain; but there are 5 to 10 meters waves, so I can't hardly use the periscope; at periscope depth I see only water, and if I go at 45 or so sometimes the sub is mostly out of the water and clearly visible

If a lonly Merchant passes my way I set up an attack using "sonar only" as WenerSobe explains in his excellent video

But what if I detect a convoy, I don't dare using the sonar in fear of being detected, and as said before the periscope is mostly useless.

So should I just let them go showing my teeth to them and bitting my nails

By the way, I'm using patch 1.4 and no mods, and of course manual targeting.

Cheers.
