Convoy interception tutorial #1 (pic heavy)

Herr Von Hesse,

Good discussion, and thanks for taking the time to write and add screen shots.

One thing I would suggest you include in your intercept model is time of day. I prefer to attack at dusk or just after nightfall. That way I still have a little light to see through the scope, and once I get clear I can quickly surface and do an end run and perhaps set up another attack before dawn. The lookouts are also less likely to get a visual on me. Therefore, I first plot where the convoy should be at sundown, then check if I can be there before them (I usually try to beat them by at least an hour). If not, then I'll pick another point on their route (as you show).

Cheers!
