Tactic for sinking convoy escort?

Bout impossible to set up an Okane type attack on an escort as most zig a lil when on convoy duty.

I prefer a down the throat shot if you are stuck with M14's. Just set them as swallow as possible and shoot a spread, althought I will unlock and just set new bearings. If I can I set up a DTT from the stern, if you miss you can get under faster. If he is zigging, learn to time it so you shoot where he is heading in his next zig.

If you're gonna shoot at an angle you about have to fix it in place so it doesn't speed up. Shoot one in front of it..in front of the bow about 10 degrees, one MOT. The first one should stop it from taking off, but shoot fast. I often leave the torp door shut for the first one and open for the next ones so they arrive about the same time.
