I was able to sink one battleship and escape.
I did the pop up nearby trick which caused the escorts to come running. Diving down and running flank around the front allowed me a close in shot at the battleship. Close in being 4000 yards. Since the escorts were poking around the last spot I was in, I had time to plot the battleship course and speed and get all six fish to hit on target using the attack vector method.
To be honest I didnt expect to sink it. I was expecting to hit two maybe.
The zig zag along with the 26nt speed I expected a a few misses, but I set the torp spread starting at 10 left and each subsequent torpedo adding +5 until all six were in the water then I turned tail and crash dove.
The event screen came up as the torpedos ran. Since the depth was set to 25 feet I watched all of them run under the front destroyers and steam right into the battleship hitting it from rear all the way up to bow. They were fired in rapid succession. It went up like a fireworks show.
For a brief moment I was so impressed I did that I froze and smiled. Then the pings of the destroyers woke me up and I had to dance my way out of there.
