Circle v Snake Search?

[OneShot]

Dropping them in front is certainly preferable to giving chase ... however sometimes you can't because you don't have the time, or whatever so you have to go for the less favourable solution.

The best way to make evasive action useless is to practically drop right on top of him, the torp enters the water, starts pinging and a second later you hear the loud and satisfying BOOM when the torp hits the sub. Good but sometimes hard to do alternative is drop the torp in front, but you need very good location and course information as well as some luck for that to work out right. Good skippers can and will escape those torps as well, if you do it wrong or (and thats a big danger) simply overshoot the target and drop the torp behind him, in which case you just wasted a perfectly good torp for ... nothin, maybe even endangered another (civilian) ship.
