07/10/1939 Patrol Log

Thanks for the advice GT. I am using TDWs UI right and like it. I've watched a series of tutorials how to do a manual firing solution, but the situation i am in is tight.

Essentially I'm two large tankers away from completing the British coastal waters (already completed the scapa flow mission before 15/10/1939). I just want to get to willhamshaven for a bunker save before i go to 2.5! Though, i may just do a fresh install and adjust my mod list a bit....but I'm not sure how much i want to hassle with it anymore.

That said, i tried to make a run on one harbor and it was empty. Moved up to the northern reaches of the patrol area for another shot at a different harbor. Every time i get in there the fog is so thick i can't see anything. I'm trying to run down the coast to hit two other harbors and i run into a HUGE convoy. As far as i can tell they only have one escort.

There are probably like 10 - 15 ships of various sizes. I'm basically heading right at them. I dive, use a little TC to get closer. They are zig zagging so i can't really do much in terms of getting an accurate shot on them. I've tried my luck with a 3 or 4 torpedo spread and i usually get one that's able to hit but by that time im more or less through the convoy and trying to turn around and catch up is suicide. I really don't want to go back to Heligonald and refit and then have to go back out.
