frigate taskforce

[Wulfmann]

I real life as well as by designation in SH3 they are Hunter Killer Groups and not Task Force groups but if you want to call them that it is your game and do what makes you happy.
I was just referring to historic reality, sometimes over rated!
Most (not all) TF are in the SCR and the Hunter Killer Groups are in the RND.

I once changed the torpedo load out in CFG so I had 3 T4s in the stern and one loaded and 2 reserves in the front. I took out all five in a Hunter Killer group (one by a fan of 2 T3s), wiped them all out. Then it occurred to me that was so unrealistic that I removed the bow T-4s (1944) and raised the renown cost extremely high so I could not have but one such fish ready in the stern.
Actually I can hit them fairly well with my T3s anyway.
What I do is wait for him to make a DC run from my stern. I stay at 14 meters so he can’t ram me and the DCs will go off at 20 so usually the damage is manageable. When he goes by I wait to see which way he will turn and as he gets close to a 90% angle with his side I set the fish so I can fire when he is 20% away from my aim point (he would be going fast). It is like hip shooting in a way just pick a setting for the fish and wait for him to get to -20% and fire. I have miscalculated, sure, it is a guess but I bag a lot of DDs with this technique and my percentage is as good as with homi fish
