Night surface attacks in very bad weather. I do this all the time. Wait for nightfall.

Get ahead of the pack 90 degrees AOB. Submerged at silent speed, you want to be inside the lanes and let the ships come to you. After the lead escorts pass rise to surface, once fully surfaced lower the depth to decks awash. DA really does lessen visibility to the escorts.

Most of your targets will be under 500 m so you really can't miss. Have all your firing solutions set before they get there, all doors open. Wait for lead ships to get within 20-30 degrees and let loose as needed. If you play it right you'll be able to fire all fwd and stern eels. Then take it down fast and run through the lanes to avoid escorts DC'ing you.

As for the eels, I set all tubes at 5m and contact detonation. No worries then.

Do not hang around to watch the pretty explosions. Merchants have guns and searchlights. At least in GWX 2.0 they do.
