Transfer to the 23 Flottille, the amount of action you can see can be frightening. There's plenty of task forces that will have 2 or 3 battleships and even flat tops cruising around. You'll rarely find any ships without at least 1 DD or even LC escort.
Last night was trolling around and ran across a group of 3 DD's but no merchant ship, didn't show up as a task force so tried to figure out what was so important to send 3 escorts for. Finally close far enough to make out the silhouette of the Aquitania. After a bold and suicidial move I made flank to her, the 3 escort fan'd out into 3 directions. Once they starting pinging (far away) dumped all my decoys dove to 80m and proceeded at silent. My course put me straight under the DD in the middle of the group. The morons took the bait and kept moving away from me dumping DC's as fast as they could roll em off the racks. Finally after they'd reached 10,000m I hit flank to close to the Aquitania. 1000m away shot all 4 tubes (knowing I'd only get 1 chance before the escorts came back) and the 1st hit managed to sink her, other 3 just impacted and make her sink really really fast. Less than 2 minutes she was deep 6'd. Fortunately weather was really bad so surfaced and made flank to escape and got lucky.
