1939 and the HMS Hood is heading straight for me. helP!

December 28th 1939, a task force is reported and I try to put myself near where they are going. They are moving fast. I find contact in AM 39, and it turns out it is the HMS Hood and 4 escorts! But it's heading straight for me! I'm too slow to get out of the way now. So I am setting up to attack at close range, very else I can do.

The problem is, I only have regular torpedos, and. I'm notsure where to set them. I see the hood has anti torpedo budge, is this impliment in grey wolf mod to do anything?

Where should I set my torpedo depth ? (Not magnetic torpedos)

I've never seen this ship before, but I intend to sink it and then probably die hahaha it's too bad silent hunter 3 can't simulate alternate history :p

Can I get some tips?

Set your eels 1 meter above the depth level your game's ship register shows for that vessels draft; In SH II in the Norwegian Narvik campaign its ten meters; I do not recall precisely what setting for SHV. The real HMS Hood had a drought of 32 ft 0 in (9.8 m) so an 8 meters setting in any case should get it done!

The silent hunter 3 ship book states 11.1 m draft (which is what I'm playing) but im afraid, if the torpedos hit the bulge will it just not do anything

Fire away! It will put a bulge in the bulge-full four eel spread. But if it's "coming straight at U", a head-on throat- 2-shot will obviate a bulge consideration

(remember to dive quickly after firing)

Regain peri-depth after it passes and finish a slowed cripple with remaining two and stern eels.

Oh haha well , I meauvered my self before hand so I'm about 700 meters away and going to fire at 90 degree angle , well I try your advise and so I'll set it to 10 meters see how that goes

Ok fired and all hit right below the bulge! No explosions or fires or anythingm but it has stopped moving, that's a good sign right? :p
