While a single hit may not sink any of them, it will cripple and slow them down for finishing off after you reload.

Disclosure: I do use auto-targeting (on the premise that my crew would have done the calculations for me anyway, and I hate math), but even if you do it yourself the method above will work.

Cool! I'll try that.

I've got a bit better with actually using the stadimeter, and using the TDC. I still use the "cheat map" (I think it is called the combat map in the game).

I'd say can sink on freighter per about 3.5 torpedoes now; maybe 4.5.

I devastate those escorts though. My new tactic is to just charge a large convoy, get the escorts to come at me wheel around and take them out one by one with the 4" 50 cal. I think in my current career up to about July 1942 I must be up to 8 destroyers 1 sub chaser and 5 gun boats killed and maybe only one of those was with a torpedo.

If the navy would let me pack more ammo for that deck gun, I'd take out the whole damn Jap navy!
