I've been lurking this forum for quite awhile, reading about SH4 and wanting to grab a copy. Now that I have a computer that can play it, I've been running the tutorials... and got a bit stuck.

I used assorted videos to learn manual TDC, so I'm alright and manually getting a solution (just alright-- I still need practice), but I'm stuck on the 4th training mission. I just don't understand what I'm supposed to do to get in range of the merchants. The destroyers always see and pound me.

So, I need help with the tactics of the approach. What is the theory behind convoy attacks? I've watched Legion's (Extremely helpful) tutorial on getting near something, but I'm looking for close-range escort evasion tactics. I'd greatly appreciate the help.

Thanks!

P.S. Bonus points to anyone who picks out the (oddly appropriate) Simpson's reference here.
