When I set up for a 90 degree to convoy course attack I notice that the closest ship in a convoy column crosses my lead angle scope line first. The column appears to be in an angled back (echelon) arrangement. Is this always true? Makes it difficult to shoot sequentially on a zero degree gyro angle at all ships in a column as they cross the lead angle on the scope. Shooting from closest to farthest won't work since closest will hit first causing the convoy to scatter before longer shots can hit. Guess the only thing to do is to angle my subs course well into the convoy so that the furthest ship crosses my lead angle line first. Unfortunately this will also result in small (45 degrees or so) AOB shots. Hope this makes sense. Any suggestions appreciated.
