Have you sunk an Elco class?

[WH4K]

Those Elco-class torpedo boats are annoying. Three of them jumped me in my Type IIB earlier today (well, December 1939 in game terms). I nearly got killed to death. That's the last time I investigate a fast-moving warship contact on the surface in daylight.

Since I use GWX 3.0, I didn't find out until my refit that I only had 39% hull integrity left when I finally got away from them. Yikes.

Has anyone managed to sink one of those little bastards? I found that I was simply unable to get into a good firing position. Even if I had been able to out-turn them underwater in my dugout (hint: not going to happen), speed was a big problem. They were moving so darned fast that I had no chance to calculate the inputs for the TDC anyway. They were maneuvering around such that the solution would have been obsolete as soon as I clicked, "Fire."

About my only chance against these guys would be to catch them at night, get in a couple of good hits with the deck gun (which would require having a deck gun), and then maybe shred them with the Flak cannon before they machine gun me to death.
