Just got Silent Hunter 3, I think I'm doing it wrong. Is there a guide?

Slow torpedoes are great when attacking multiple ships in a convoy - after launching last torpedo you have more time to dive deep and change position before ships start blowing up and the escort start their counterattack. First place where they look for you is the area from which torpedoes came, so you don't want to be there now.

Fast torpedoes are good for lonely merchants that have noticed your boat and started zigzagging. It's hard to calculate torpedo solution for those, so instead you just close to point blank range, turn towards the target and launch a fast torpedo. It's a naval equivalent of putting a gun to the Agent's head and muttering "Dodge THIS!".
