Just had my first HOLY CRAP moment.

Someone should really fix that aiming.

What time frame are you in? I just started the second Campaighn 'Happy Times' and those juicy lone targets are hard to come by. They're all in convoys with about 15 Merchants +6-8 Destroyers screening all the way around.

General procedure is to get in position ahead of them, Let the screen pass, then come to scope depth and start tearing them up right in the midst of the convoy. After exhausting my forward fish, I drop a decoy (press Y) dive deep and go silent and sneak away. All the merchants churning around me + the decoy leaves the DD's utterly confused and i find them circling the area i launched the attack from and deployed the decoy.
