Are you referring to the attempted night attack or the upcoming daylight attack.

In the night convoy there were 20 merchants and 6 warships, so I'm guessing this one should be about the same and my attack angle will be about 90° to the convoy's course meaning my bow pointed directly at them. I should come across the centre of them about 10:30 AM.

If there is a troop transport, should I take it out, or concentrate on tankers and of course the warships that are going to come after me. I want to get as many as I can before I have to dive to max depth in my IXB. BTW, what is my max depth in an IXB as depth charges can go as deep as 300 m.
