Attacking a convoy

SubFan · 12-31-06, 06:19 AM

I'm quite inexperienced at SHIII, so I need some help attacking a convoy. I'm using GWX.

I've found this nice juicy convoy heading to England. There's several Pyro ammunition ships (5k tonnage) and several large merchants (11k tonnage). The convoy is sailing in a box formation with several destroyers as escorts. The line closest to me consists of the Pyro ships, and the line second next to me consists of the large merchants. I've positioned myself perpendicular to the sail path. Problem is: How do I maximize the damage? Should i dive into the middle of the convoy? As it is now the pyro ships will be about 600m away from me while the large merchant will be about 1,5 km away. Should I shoot after one pyro and one large merchant, or shoot at everything I can? I only have 4 front torpedoes

Also: How come this forum doesn't have a search function?
