I just have an incredible time with a convoy.

I must have played over 20 patrol altogether so far, but I rarely have convoy action. I am still new to this game. I spend most of my earlier career raiding port during happy time when the ports are literally undefended. Then come a convoy. The time is Feb 40. Some 10 merchants escort by 3 destroyers. In the past, when I met even 1 destroyer in shallow water, I am already in trouble. But I practiced by snap shot at them and I am confident enough to rough with them. I fire at them about 15 degree ahead of them while they are turning around. I wasted some torp but I did sink 2 and crippled 1. Now all the merchants are mine! I never thought it is possible. The crippled ship shot at me from afar as we are moving away. I used my deck gun to finish 5 small ships. Then come the bigger ones. Just when I thought I can destroy the entire convoy, my girlfriend call me to come see her, and of course complained how I put computer game before her. *shrugs* so I saved and hope the save is good, unlike earlier ones that would crash the game as soon as it is loaded. I know a lot of you must have done this many time. But for me being able to take apart all escort and have a run on the merchant unchallenge this is first time. Now I have to go because my girlfriend is waiting. It is ashame the designer never fix the saving problem before they fold it.

have fun hunting.
