Stern shot.

[ppk]

Here's a tactic I thought of.

With one torpedo left you are presented with a juicy target that most likely won't go down with a single hit. To make things worse, it has a deck gun covering the rear quarter.

Step 1 - Observe and plot
Step 2 - Move to target course and make adjustments until you are in a head on collision with the target.
Step 3 - Confirm this every few minutes by raising the periscope for brief moments and making necessary adjustments.
Step 4 - Order flank speed just before you cross, and periscope depth as soon as you can clear his screws.


Step 6 - Take the shot : 180AOB down bearing 180, range 400 and whatever speed you have found from your plot. Kinda like the ''Fast 90'' targeting that's a shot that is always the same to set up. Choose the impact detonator and set a running depth of about 4m.



Step 7 - Wait until they stop. Turn the boat around to be out of their gun's range. With this empire freighter, it was right in front of him. Man your own gun and finish him. I was busy taking the shots so I don't have pictures of the last part of the engagement.

So essentially you hit his screws, he can't move, and you swing around to slap him in the face.

Peace
