I tried IX twice before getting a handle on it. My fifth career, IXB throughout, is wonderful, But I havn't try IXD.

Back on the topic of convoys, they are tough after 93. Nic is right about the distance, give you more time to get away. DON'T put yourself directly in front of the convoy, put yourself about 3k on the side, inch forward a bit after the lead escort if necessary. Your shots will be less accurate. But in a war, the first priority is survival. Count yourself lucky if your spread sunk a ship or 2. I aim 2 each the 2 bigest prizes in the convoy. Back slow, change direction, and do deep. By the time of the torpedo impact, I enjoy a good lead on the escorts.

Fortunately, there are plenty of lone merchants in GWX out there in the great Atlantic.
