SHO Tactics

What are some of your guy's favorite tactics to use, an what kind of search patterns do you set up?? Me personally, I love when I get a convoy on the hyrdophone's an I'm infront of them w/ them heading in my direction, which gives me time to get in a good position. I normally like to attack from outside the convoy after the lead an destroyers pass me by before I launch my eels. Sometimes if I'm feeling lucky I'll either set my self up so I'll be inside the convoy or I'll try to sneak my way in, to go after the the bigger tankers an cargo ships that are always in the middle/center of the convoy. Also I usually fire 2 eels at a target, unless its a smaller ship then I send just 1 set to magnetic det thnks to Wraith's torpedo patch thing. When it comes to search patterns I alternate between a shoe string search pattern or what I call the rectangle pattern. It depends on the area I'm searching which determines the pattern, like open ocean I use the rectangle, but if land is near or on both sides like the area that funnels into Gibraltar, or I'm hunting between Scotland an Ireland I always use the shoe string for that 1.
