How do YOU engage this Problem?

[Sledgehammer427]

First, ComSubPac would want you to assess the situation, and if it warrants an attack, to attack, however, they don't want you to be a cowboy and destroy one of the navy's good boats

Morpheus, below the thermals you got right, but usually you don't want to break 5 knots. even 5 is a little iffy, because even though the colder water keeps the sonar pings away, that doesn't mean the japanese destroyers don't have a vigilant soundman listening to your every sneeze, breath and fart.

Rosentorf, that sounds like a textbook torpedo attack.
This is what I do.

First, I take a position mark on the whole convoy (where its just a huge square) wait for about 5 minutes, then make another mark.
take your compass tool and connect the dots.
then you would place your boat to where by the time the convoy passes by, you are right there, ready to attack.
Nothing like blasting them from both ends as a convoy passes!
"fire tube one! Fire tube seven!"
the sweet spot where you can use both the bow and stern tubes on targets, of course you have to eyeball the range, thats easy enough, but this isnt the thread to explain.
