you know most days in a regular game I never
get detected and never go to silent running,
the better to reload torps with. letting them
come to you is the thing.
in my case If you use the distance between
the escort and the convoy as a yardstick
I usually fire from between 125 to 150% of that
distance out from the base course of the convoy
at right angles. most of my attacks in career are made
from that distance and firing into the target convoy
at 45 degrees AOB, why go inside when you dont
have to, if your not using the engines staying
off silent running means torp reloads, that and
firing early means that if you fire your first round
at 60 AOB reloads in a fleet boat means you can
fire twelve at the target before they pass.
keeping your scope exposure to a minimum is wise
of course when that close but after getting further
out from here the noise is less important.
if the destroyers do start getting closer than 1200yds
I do go quiet, but Gaining favourable
position and awaiting your enemy at ease is the thing.
to my mind anyway.
