Thanks!

So far so good, yes. From what I could determine after almost 24 hours of on-and-off contacts and shadowing, plus heading straight down their throats the first time (and only seeing neutrals!) then an outside intercept the second time (and Yay! finding British!) they'd started off with four escorts. But during the day, while I was shadowing them to stay in contact, three different times escorts spotted me when around 16km away. The second time one of them came out for a peek somehow they'd managed to zig instead of zag and got a ping on me. --mutters-- But they were just stooging along, not quite sure where I was, or even if I was there, and they . . . ummm . . . wound up eating a torpedo.

So now the convoy only has three escorts, and I seemed to have lucked out and been on the one side the escorts aren't. However, considering the lead escort passed by me at 2,800 meters while I was surfaced . . . --grins-- . . . I'm going to be cocky and say I'd still have snuck past 'em!

I finally got within 1,100 meters of the outer column. By then I could visually ID flags, and so . . .



Two torpedoes each into a granville-style freighter and a large merchant. Both went down in under 30 seconds!

I usually run manual targeting. Lately I've been doing auto and concentrating more on surface attack approaches, etc. Plus I've been practicing using OLC GUI, and I don't feel comfortable enough with that --yet!-- to do so in a career.
