Be forwarned however Russian ships, at the time being communists will be attracted to you like flies.

I've yet to come across a convoy (early days yet.. and I need to get outta the dock some more), but I think my first few tries I will incorperate the 'Blind Mans Bluff'.. sit about 2kms off the side of the convoy at roughtly a 90 AOB in about 200m of water.. use hydrophons to assume they're pretty much infront and unload all tubes.. slink away and hope to maybe have some numbers when return to dock.. I'm sure it's the safest way to do it..

Question.. if you're in the middle of a convoy after an attack.. how sucessful is hiding underneath a merchant (I literally mean hiding.. keeping his speed and sitting about 50 meters directly beneath him)? Obviously the escorts will have trouble DC'ing you if you're crusing directly beneath another boat..
