The 2.1 keeps one occupied now. But its nice to be able to learn to play both games properly.  |
I do lots night attacks myself, usually shadowing a convoy for a full day just to attack at night, and don't find it impossible. I agree that it's almost impossible to do if the escorts are plenty in numbers and conveniently(or inconveniently what comes to the sub) positioned, but with three or less escorts you can usually pull it off. If it's three escorts, then one is usually at the point and the rest on both sides. If the side escorts are situated so far forward that I can't expect to sneak in between them and the point man, then I'll stay at the convoys 10 or 2 o'clock until the guy on my side of the convoy drops back to do a sweep(they do this every few hours) and then charge in to the convoys now unprotected flank. Escaping on the surface is a bit trickier, but even if you have to dive you get a good head start against the DDs, and won't get caught at periscope depth.
