Convoy dilema.

Hello

also make sure that the gyro-angle is really small (around 5 deg max) as you minimise the chance of the torpedo missing the target. When you're about to fire check your scope or the UZO. If the small triangle on the target is green it will probably hit. If it's red don't even try it.

Good Luck and Good Shooting

thanks for the advice.

I have been reading 'Convoy' by Martin Middlebrook (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Convoy-Great...UTF8&s=gateway) which I can't recommend enough. In it there are some excellent descriptions of tactics used against three convoys headed from NY to Liverpool.

Happy Hunting.
