New guy has lots of questions

I have been sinking entire convoys up until now, I guess I must have just been getting lucky. Normally when the escort DDs travel in a straight line I can sink them easily, then I surface and clean up the merchant ships with the deck gun. I have never had a destroyer "fish" like the one I encountered just now. Then again I also have never taken on large convoys...just regular ones (3 escort ships max)

I only destroyed 2 out of the 4 destroyers and 1 merchant ship in that particular convoy before they got away. Not a bad day, but I was hoping for more.

Sinking the destroyers is so much more rewarding than destroying the merchant ships :P
