Capital ships in convoys???

Wow. Great insight into the surreality of war from the Jurgen Oesten video. 'Thanks for torpedoing us and giving us a 9-month break in New York'!

As for what could be gleaned about the position of the battleship in the convoy, nothing definite but Oesten did seem to say he was targeting the convoy when he decided to fire at the 'shadow' that looked like it might be the Malaya.

That's another thing I think I came across at precisely the wrong time personally though, in light of my plodding attempts at manual targeting. Er, range; speed, stopwatch for 3.15 oh !*@$ it's a completely different ship than I'd ID'd it earlier what has that done to the range... AOB, ugh, Jawohl Herr Kaleun, solution to target. Compare to: Ja, we saw this shadow that didn't look much like a merchant so we fired at it... at least he didn't sink her!!
