What would YOU do?

Thought it would be interesting to get peoples opinions on this scenario:

Large Convoy, clear day mid 1940:



Just off Lowestoft:



It gets better, in 18m of water:



Fully loaded in my TypeIIA:



Suicide? I'm so tempted but I can kind of see how its going to turn out...

Oh, and I'm strictly adhering to D.I.D rules.

So, what would YOU do?

Get in there, watch for mines though. If your going to go, go in style.

Once bitten twice shy, that was my previous patrol. Killed my Weapons officer, destroyed my batteries, limped back to base on the surface.

Could say I'm on life number 9 now...

My experience tells me to take a few pot shots from long range and head for deeper water the minute the fish leave the tubes.

if you manage to get one or two you up your tonnage and send Winston a message that his ships arent safe anywhere
