Hitting anything in a blind spread is pure luck & if you have done it several times, I would say you are having an amazingly good streak. There are just so many variables -- direction, speed, hull design, AOB, proximity. And, of course, the question of what to do when you only cripple one and it sails off into the murk.

Save your powder. There is always another day, and you have fuel enough to spend a long time at sea, even in a II-boat.
