While this is nicely on its way, after a little wait I fire the stern tube, set to impact 3m depth at a target 400m. Immediatley, torpedoes 3 & 4 are for my main target. Hopefully a C3 or a tanker.
I know this is a bit sad but I use pencil & paper to note pistols, depths & in which tube order etc. In the middle of the convoy when the attack starts, to achieve impacts that are fairly close- time wise, takes a bit of planning. I realise i'm not good enough, without a little plan sorted.
With regards to evasion I find going deep helps alot.

Yes! Go deep and do the wiggle-waggle. Main thing is to get away as far away from datum as possible before escorts arrive. I go at flank speed to about 50 meters, then reduce to two knots and change course 20 degrees.
