Hi, I just catch 2 of 3 british subs! 07 febr 1942, 11º38 E 40º 11 N!
They travel with 11 Knots SUBMERGED - SO, AFTER I make a save (outsaide of visual range) I try to get closer - but no chance!

Advices: dont try to shoot them with torpedo! no chance! I try salvo, individual shoot, no results! Worst, they dive! So, just re-load the save and:

first - deep to periscope, get the direction with sonar man, then surface with full diesel speed. Big surprise for me, they just get again on periscope deep and I have a visual contact with them in 2000 m range.
I run to the deck gun and I start shooting, and strange, they dont dive!
So, after 20-25 round, I manege to destroy the 1º one!

Strange again, the second one was in oposite direction STILL on periscope deep, so I just start fire on them; I manage to get 5-6 from 25-30 with piercing rounds and, for my great satisfaction, the kills count in the mission.

Update: I got the last one 14 march 42 in 11º54E and 37 º 16 N - on surface, allready engaged by italian aircrafts. I start shooting verry fast with armour piercing rounds, before the aircrafts kill him! I was with chance, and kill him after 45-50 rounds from 3000 m! (just 5-6 really caugh him!)
So, until now, I can take the siege of malta with a lot of time - 5 months.
I hope this will help.
