I Would Like Some Tactical Advice...

[SilverGhost]

...specifically to what methods you fellow kaleuns use to approach a convoy.

I've tried the arrive ahead of time at 90 degree AoB and wait. I've decided that this tactic puts me to exposed to the leading escorts and I usually can't get to the big targets from the sideline.

Now I've been trying the "arrive slightly ahead of time directly in the path" and turn into the convoy submerged and sneak into the middle.

One problem I'm having is gauging where the "center" rank and file is. It's easy to overshoot the estimated line of travel and end up too far on the opposing edge of the line...which usually ends up with less than desired results! I'm also arriving generally at the point where my sonar man has a "long range" fix on the convoy. The black indicator paths are long and it's a gamble as to where the true direction of travel will be.

Obviously, I can't spend a lot of time on the surface in the approach pattern as the lead escorts will detect you. And once submerged, my speed cannot compensate for any position errors as a "slow" convoy is still at least twice as fast as I am.

Any advice on improving my set-ups would be greatly appreciated!
