Rough seas attack convoy options?

MarkShot · 01-08-08, 10:15 PM

I have tracked a convoy for 180km via sonar, but the winds have been running at 14-15m/sec with very rough seas; no rain. I was happy for somewhat better conditions for my attack.

Now, I might try attacking on the surface at night, but visibility isn't too bad. I am worried about being spotted by escorts.

Another possibility is a daytime submerged attack, but I am concerned about torpedoes in such heavy seas (early 1941) or possibly broaching while I set up a PD. Will broaching the sail be spotted by escorts?

Recommendations?

Thanks.
