Um..ok - Juicy Attack Details.
The inital strike on the convoy was: for the medium merchant, a T1 FaT1 set on medium, keel-depth+1, aimed amidships. To the medium tanker, i sent a T1 Fat1 on medium at the bow, keel depth+1, but I gave a T2 Fat1 a head start, heading amidships at 4m. Finally, the small tanker was cracked in half by a T1 Fat1 set at 3m - it hit amidships - and i'd never seen one of those tough little bastards break up before.
As for the 'desperate measures', I had a T2 in the back, and in the front I had two T2s and two T1 FaT1s. I set all of them at 4.2m since Buckley was listed as 3.5. Actually, I'm not sure if it was actually a Buckleys - i have to check the log when I get home. The two T2s up front went out first, and then the T1s went out on medium. Since it was a knife-fight, I cranked up the run-to-enable on the T1s so they didn't find me instead. They were all zero-gyro shots set for 300m run, and I used the 'broken' periscope to update the bearing in the TDC even though it couldn't be raised. I think it was one of the T1s that got him.
Note - it occurs to me that if the peri is really 'destroyed', you shouldn't be able to use it to set the gyro angle in the TDC. I'll have to take another look at the TDC to see if you can manual set the gyro - that would be the legit way to do it.
Note 2 - i've decided that in the future I'm going to keep all 3 stern fish as homing torps. This situation would have been a lot less precarious if I could have popped up, set one of those on his ass and then got down again. If all four of my bow fish had missed....well...we would have been tits up. Though, I guess I could have surfaced for a final deck gun duel
