Trouble is weather is not good and visibility is very limited.
To even see the ships I'd have to get right between the columns and then the destroyers would be close...  |
Yea,...but all the more reason to use pattern runners. The whole point of them is to just get them approximately in the right zone and let the pattern find something. If you've got their exact speed from a radio report, then you can just dial it in, make a guess about the range (or send a ping or two), then launch a good spread set to slow speed and 1600m circuit, and let them do the work while you bail. It's a bit of a different strategy because you don't really pick your targets, but in late war with GWX 2.0, I find detection = death like 75% of the time.
