First time depth charged?

Actually, my favorite depth charge attacks are the ones that start well astern and just get further away.

My favorite convoy tactic, attack from 45 deg ahead. Fire at furthest target first, closest target last. Dive, ahead flank, hard to port for 90 degrees, hard to starboard 90 degrees and run under the convoy while things 'splode on the roof. By the time I reach the far corner of the convoy, I'm deep, make turns for 1.5 knots, rigged for silent, and might throw in a shallow right or left rudder depending on placement of escorts.

Creep away while the enemy thrashes about behind me.
