First Convoy-Advice

Hi guys,

Been playing SHIII for about a month now. This is my 12th patrol, I was patrolling off the coast of Ireland when BdU sent me a radio message of a large oncoming convoy, moving slow (7 knots) course East. So after a few hours of searching (including sinking a small merchant on the way with my deck gun

), I finally found the herd. When I looked at the convoy in free camera mode, I nearly fell off my chair. I couldn't believe my eyes!!! It was a U-boat commander's dream!!!!!! To better illustrate my idea, here's a screenie I took of my current position:

..........Yeah, I know, I'm lucky aren't I? So I currently have my engines off, maintaining depth at 50m, not making a noise. Since this is my first convoy in career mode, I really don't want to screw it up. Any advices from you veterans out-there would be great!!!

Karl Raeder,
U-51

End Transmission.
