Parked myself, submerged, right in their path and waited for them to catch up to. My plan was to see what side of the convoy was the least protected and maneuver off their track to that side, submerged at night would make it harder for the destroyers to spot me.

Things were coming together nicely when all of a sudden one of the tankers I had my eye on exploded right in front of my eyes!

All the escorts took off in another direction, so I went the opposite way and fired all the bow and stern torpedoes I had into the convoy, went deep and silent and the destroyers were too busy chasing what I assume was another, AI controlled sub who got the first shots off.

wow they did good, the one I seen must have been a captain bernard as he was running strait into a convoy at flank speed
