Tactics: sinking a destroyer

anjutosi · 08-23-11, 07:29 AM

I developed a tactic to escape and destroy any convoy escort.
After beeing deetcted I go forward to de destroyer, full speed ahead. Abou 1000 yards, I chane my heading abou 60 degrees so that the destroyer can't turn so quickly and passes close. And there begins the real fight. If it stars an atack run, turning to the side of the submarine, I turn port and starboard, triyng to follow the destroyer. She runs about 300 to 400yards from the submarine. At about an 40 to 45 degrres angle, I fire a torpedo aginst the destroyer. and then I stop turning and go strait forward so thta I will get close to the destroyer and, if the first torpedo missed, I'll have just 200 yards right in from of me, and a second torpedo will kill she defenetely.
Please try. It works with me,
Antonio
