Foggy fun with the deck gun (radar targeting)

It sucks trying to attack in heavy fog. By the time you get visual contact, you are often too close for a torpedo attack.

The fun comes in when you have SJ radar installed. Use it to close within about 500-1000 yards of a target (no need to establish visual contact or identify it), manually control the gun yourself, and open fire in its general direction. If you miss, try a different bearing. Eventually you will see a flash indicating a hit, then just go to town.

Neither the target or its escorts will be able to find you easily. Just keep an eye on the radar or map to make sure they dont get too close. When you destroyed the target, check the captain's log to see what it was
