Convoy ambush tactics - 2 choices

UnterseeBoogeyMan · 04-24-07, 09:21 PM

shadowing a convoy at dusk, will attack at dark. It's 1939, I use impact torpedoes only, becuase I know magnetic isn't reliable until after the Norway invasion. I want to fire a spread of torpedoes and get two targets before hauling out of there. The risk is hitting target not quite 90 degrees to it's hull, and the torpedo at risk of not exploding.
Given the time period, i'm seeking advice; better to get in close, take the sure kill at 1000 meters or go fr two at 1500 to 2000? thoughts?
