I try to use bad weather to my advantage. Not always going to work but hey your there as well as your target. With a lone merchant it's easier to concentrate on the task. Now by bad weather I'll presume you mean while submerged and the scope fully extended waves are still cresting it. But even if it is that bad you should still get a few intermittant views so you can get ship keel / tonnage info.
Then comes what eels you got. Magnetics in crappy weather, man that's a coin toss. Once T3's come along it;s a little better, I think. Well I mean this all could depend on your aob. If it's as bad as the weather I/P might be as bad as a dud.
If you roll with I/P try about 1-1&1/2m up from the keel. 2 up in bad weather.
One thing I hate is hearing a good shot bounce off a hull.
For a while late 42-early 43 the boat was sent out with a few of the early homing eels. Yeah they were slow and it usually ment using a finishing shot. But I think I liked them better then the Fat.
