Hi, I've been lurking around here trying to get better at SH4 and I've learned how to use the dick O'kane maneuvers and manual TDC based on the (great) videos by rockin robbins and the likes, but I don't really get how to attack convoys...

For example, the dick O'kane maneuver is really great for attacking one or two merchant ships, but what strategies would I use to attack the other merchant ships in the convoy?

From my newbie point of view, it seems like the dick o'kane maneuver is more like ambushing other ships, allowing you plenty of time to get the AOB, range, speed, etc... but once you sink a convoy ship, the other merchants goes crazy and zig zag all over the place... I'm not sure how to manually do TDC since the range, speed and AOB is constantly changing.

Any advice on what strategies to use for attacking convoys and how to do manual TDC when the ships are zig zagging?

Thanks
