Strategies & Tricks

This is probably one of many similar threads, but after looking around I can't seem to find a comprehensive thread that gives an outlay of tactics and strategies. I'm fairly new to SH III and while I'm not a zealous submarine buff, I have taken a liking to the game. Basically because it tries to be as realistic as possible, something that most companies that develop WW II games just don't seem to care about. To mention a few: the Blitzkrieg franchise, Codename Panzers (what a rape of this great historical conflict), and so the list goes on.

Anyway, I try to play the game with the realism settings as high as possible, I'm using the RuB mod as well. What I'm having trouble with is developing good strategies, manually plotting torpedo solutions is a real pain (and not mention actually inflicting a hit!). Sometimes I get the impression that you have to be a math major in order to play this game properly.

So I wonder if people could share their strategies when attacking. How do you plan ahead, what are your prefered methods when sinking those bloody merchants ? I've looked through the community manual (which is very well done by the way) and it explained many of the concepts I was having trouble with (like AoB for instance), but I couldn't find any direct hints or explanations on how to actually conduct an attack in the most succesfull manner.

I hope someone can perhaps explain some of the things I mentioned above

Would also like to add that SH III has one of the best gaming communities, so keep it up
