How to attack a convoy at a 45 degree angle

[Tweety]

Hi KL-alfman,

I was watching the John P Cromwell tutorial with Rockin Robbins speaking in the video.

I got to thinking about the speed of the torpedo. If the speed would make a different in shooting at a 45 degree shot compared to a 90 degree shot minus the leading angle to have the gyros at 000. I was thinking of the different speed settings on the torpedo if that would make a different in lead angle to shoot at.

I have been doing pretty good at the Dick Okaine attack rules. A video made by Rockin Robbins. I though I would challenge myself into shooting at different angles (make a better Captain at shooting) before I attempt to go with map contacts turned off. I enjoy playing this game and went to became better at manual targeting. I figure the better I am at shooting with a 45 or a 90 degree AOB. The more choices I have at my service to sink ships. The better I will become.

you are in a perfect position to infiltrate the convoy (surfaced or submerged depending on whether or sight, or radar-equipment on DDs).
just let the lead escort sail by and run silent at a perpendicular course, you should the be between first and second column and range would be no problem any more. your shots on targets within a range of 1000m will always hit (almost ). you could fire even your stern-torpedo and take out a second ship in one run

I do like your idea. The more choices the better.
