Ive had this happen....the 2 times it happened to me the convoy was listed as a task force...despite being lightly escorted and being made up vastly of tankers and c3's with tanks or planes ont he deck. They spent 48 houres making 360 degree trunes, 90 degree knuckles, etc...it was hell.

hey, at least you survived

one time i was in the northern tip of england, AM51 was it? convoy coming throuhg, i could hear them but i could not see them, there was heavy fog, rain, u name it. the visibility must have been 100m because a few boats were upon be before i saw them. needless to say I got annoyed with the situation and since nobody could see jack ****, I surfaced and chased down the targets, using impact pistols and doing 15 second calculations... real rough estimate stuff. anyways this was in a type VIIB, 4 torps, I think i got 1 or 2 but it wasn't a good night. eventually I just slinked off because I couldn't see any targets.

I don't get that problem if I encouter a convoy the lead escort gets it first then do a wide spread on anything infront of me @ around 3800m if I miss my original targarget the cances are I will hit something else and gives me a chance to reload I don't target crummy coastal merchants anything from a C2 onwards will do me but (each to there own ) if you can do a muliple hit on a couple of ships near enough 10-15 sec apart the escorts are lost depending on what year your in.
But then again it depends what mod you playing? Many a time I fire a fish at a cripple and 10 sec later I got target destroyed waste of a fish.
