When to give up surface attacks

This is one of the main reasons I've stuck with NYGM. I've done Kretschmer style attacks (minding my speed, aspect and decks awash) in mid 1940. Even shooting from outside, I've successfully closed under 1000m and evaded on the surface. This was in IIs
and VIIs.

I'm late 1941 now and hoping for some wolf packs to draw off some escorts because solo convoy attacks are starting to only be successful submerged.

The key to surface attacks is keeping bow on to the closest contact and going slow. Speed will kill you...
