Convoy Attack '45 - how to survive?

I have a mod that makes DD's more aggressive. But I still try to fight them. Lets say I have attacked a convoy and the DD's are looking for me. I'll try to pick one that is at my rear, at about 170 degrees. I go flank raise my scope, to get hes attention. Hes now moving in on me, lets say 1200 yards and zig zagging right to left. Torp doors have already been opened and torps have been set to run shallow and at max speed. I wait for him to make a comment to the right or left just as he does this I fire my first torp. If he sees this and tries to avoid I shoot the other one to the other side. If one misses the other one is sure to get him, well maybe LOL.

I crash dive right after I finish shooting, don't wait for the show, get down NOW! I go to my max depth or a little deeper. Make sure you shoot no sooner than 600 yards or he'll almost certainly get away. Also remember that there are other DD's watching all this and are setting up for a run on you! Sometimes the DD that you are shooting at will hang back at about 12 knots or so. (Be aware of whats happing around you). This could be a sure sign that he is trying to set you up and is waiting for help. Of course this does not factor in the dude torps.

If your torps are dudes go deep, you are about to be beat like a red headed step child. lol. Good luck keep practicing. Indy
