Would you attack?

Pass on this one. There are plenty of single merchants in 1939. If there was only one escort I would plot the course they were on and surface out of their range and get in front of them, submerge and try to take out the single escort.

Wait, Merchys arent armed yet in Nov '39.

Somethings amiss here

Q Ships, Armed Merchant Cruisers plus the odd merchantman.

With a type II against a convoy protected by 3 Tribal class DDs?

Attack if you have death wish.

I agree with Laufen

Hmm.. What are you doing in those shallow waters anyways? I think I would attack. It's night, the sky is clear, so the sea state might be favorable for a decent shot with a reliable estimation, even from a long distance. I would hope I got one lucky hit that would stop or even sink one merchant.

(However I have H.sie's and Stiebler's latest mod that makes one's boat harder to detect in shallow waters

)

It would be better not to get detected here. I would not attack with steam torpedoes during day light. If I couldn't attack at night time I would let the convoy pass.

Depending on the weather I think you might be able to sneak closer if you keep your bow towards the nearest escort, approach very slowly and deck awash.

Capt: "Down periscope, return to course, depth 60m, Number 1"...
Number1: "But sir...."
Capt: "That's an order.... see to it".......
