The four bearings method

Not a half bad idea. I'll give it a try. I'm currently tracking a large convoy for the second time. The first time, I blew the approach, had to fire my torps early and spent the next 5 hours or so (game time) evading about 7 destroyers. Eventually shook them and am lining up for another ambush.
