WABO Attack Prior to Provocation.

GWX2.1
1940

You get to your convoy intercept point, dive to PD, go to silent running. You hear the convoy approaching. Your crew is a battle stations, your sound man is tracking the lead escort. Everything is peachy.

The escort gets close and starts pinging. Next thing, wasserbomben. but they miss and you manage to lose the bugger.

This happened to me on three consecutive patrols. My old, true and tried method of penetrating a convoy wasn't working. The lead destroyer acted as if it knew beforehand where I was.

It took some thinking to figure this out. If we can hear a ship 20 kms. away, an escort would be able to hear us for a considerable distance.

So I went to silent running as we dove.

Since then, been able to penetrate convoys without being detected.

Hope you will find this useful.
