Attacking enemy ships in rough weather

The two cents of a relatively new CC:

I've had some small successes with no-visual/sonar attacks. The key seems to be getting in close (mind your min arming distances!) and being on the 90. If you can get a full 90 degree broadside setup, it will forgive quite a bit of inaccuracy in your computations. Bracket if you've got the torps to spare.

I'd be careful with running torps on the surface or shallow in rough seas. Not for sure on this but once in rough seas I launched four fish on surface runs. Each one detonated when they armed just a few hundred yards from launch. Since then, I've used a minimum depth of 10 feet when in rough seas.

Take it all with a dash of sea salt as I'm still learning.
