wow...this must be told

[Sledgehammer427]

okay my friend and i play sh3...a lot after gwx 2.0
but there was an interesting situation i was struck with last night

okay situation,
64% realism, (scrennie whore, dont like setting up shots myself, although i am kinda good at it, and i like a couple of other things that i cant very well remember)

coming across a random destroyer around the shetlands, the destroyer somehow (note use of somehow, i was silent running and i resisted the urge to talk even in my own D4mn room.) detected me, and led to about 15 minutes of subsequent D/Cing.
i am not a fan of the old sit, wait, and slip away thing.
sooooooo
i jump up to peri depth while he circles (i have this honor system where i dont use the ext cam to see where the things coming from)and i join him in his turning, now i have to go ahead flank to keep up with that cirlcing, and i wait.
i know german torpedoes have abouta 300 meter arming distance, but i line up a perfect shot, and its at 275, i slow my turn and try again.
thankfully, im good at conserving batteries and have quite a bit of juice left (about 70%)
eventually, i line up a shot at 315 meters and fire one!
well, the rest is history, adknowledging that impatience has its virtues.
the destroyer took the hit under the magazine and just went BOOM!
i sat in front of my computer with this look
while my friend rolled on the floor laughig in amazement

Recommended tactic, simmers?
you tell me

I'll take a DD on if he is stupid and I can get a good shot.

Do bow shots! Do bow shots!

That's because I only play at 90% realism with manual targeting disabled.
