I wouldn't chase something so small, just report it and let the fly boys earn their medals.

I agree.

Based on your observations, she's not worth it. If you had an easy firing solution, by all means. Check her out and let her go if she's not worth it, but since it will require considerable effort on your part to get there and there's a high likelihood that you won't want to sink her anyway, let the BdU know what you saw and leave the decision to them.

The ship is too small for any real consideration and even if he was in range, he's not worth the torpedo and at less than 2000 tons, I would not even want to waste shells on him. He got away. Accept it and find bigger fish.

Be more aggressive.

Thanks for the advice (I see it was unanimous). When I decided not to pursue, I saw it change direction and begin to zigzag, so the final aproach was very fast. It went down with a few shells. I was right, small passenger ship, 1660 t, british. Oh, and then I messed up my 57 mod soup and cannot play anymore. Damn!
