TMO and dd evasion--my technique fails.

[I'm goin' down]

Recently, I have been setting up at a range of 3,500 - 4,500 yds using the the constant bearing technique described in rock n' shoals post in the Subskippers Bag of Tricks thread. I am striking against TFs, the main line of which is at that range, straddled on both sides by Ducimus' famous dds and escorts, which parallel the main line on each side by approximately 1,000 - 3,000 yds. Out of six shots at two or three targets on the main line, usually cruisers, battleships or carriers, I hit one vessel, and come quite close to hitting the other target(s). I will settle for that, as the targets are all high risk, and are heavy tonnage. Regardless, the protective dd cordon ends with a radar track on my boat, even if it has dived before the unleashed torpedoes impact the chosen target(s). DDs have found my boat at a depth of 600 ft., and sunk it. Firing beyond a range of 4,500 yds with accuracy is difficult, as a slight miscalcualtion of speed, Aob or firing point makes a difference at long range. I know there are some who say the TMO dds are not a big deal and can be avoided. I don't believe them. If I angle my boat towards the oncoming task force to yield a smaller radar profile to the oncoming dds and escorts, the firing angle to the target yields a smaller aspect ratio, thus making accurate long range shots (i.e. ones that his the target) quite difficult, so that does not appear a feasible solution, even if it helps avoid the dd cordon. I may avoid being sunk, but the trade off is that I probably won't hit anything.

Any reasonable suggestions to this dilemma.

By the way the October 15, 1944 career start missions will lead to large TFs on their way to Luzon. The problem is that Ducimus' dds will be on guard, their crews are on caffeine overdose, and they usually screw up the party.
