Here's a good practice problem for y'all:

Patboot · 09-04-05, 11:19 AM

Date: Aug, 1943
Status: Weather 0 wind, light fog.
Crew: Morale good, Boot at 65% HI
Weapons: Torps- 5; 2 Zaun II, 1 T-III, 2 T-I. Full load deck gun ammo.

I count 6 escorts, plus that C class to the NE that wandered in from nowhere, 4 T3's, 2 T2's, a bunch of C3/2's and Libs. No light merchants.

I've tried:
1. Actively attacking the escorts,
2. Drawing escorts out for a 1 v 1
3. Sneaking up astern and sniping with deck gun.
4. Standard attack submerged with torps.

My next try will be again into the middle, target the heavies, shoot to cripple, then pick 'em off when it cools down.

Or, should I just bail out and seek easier game? I've never seen a Con this heavily escorted.

Opinions, suggestions welcome.
