Well lol... against my better judgement.... I chased a convoy into shallow waters... with a sea state of 0 m/s sun shining full pelt got caught, depthcharged... start wondering if I should break off? NO!! By this point, anger is clouding my judgement...

Im chasing the convoy south through the shallow water. Night time comes. Phase 1 of the attack happens on the surface, due to summer months I have about 5 hours of pitch dark, maybe less. In I go on the surface, One Large Cargo and two Ore Carriers... thanks... goodnight.

Managed to break off on the surface and reload my forward tubes. Phase 2 of the attack a submerged dawn attack. One modern tanker scrubbed off... but sadly... my other two torpedoes meant for the other Large Cargo miss... shat!

What is this? One crippled ore carrier.... have tube 5 with my compliments. Boom!

27,000 tons of convoy shipping gone! So if you are going to attack things in shallow water... not to boast, but you need a few things.

1) Experience - even with mine, I still got caught, yes conditions were perfect to be detected, but even so... I got caught.

2) A mean streak a mile wide, no time for caution its dangerous enough as is, if you are going to go down, take as many with you as possible.

3) Luck. No doubt about it, you do need this.

4) A rough plan at the very least of how you intend to escape if push comes to shove.

5) I deally if possible a spare torpedo, because that thing hunting you may just well be asking for it!
