spotted on surface

[AVGWarhawk]

I always get at the convoy on the opposite side of where the escorts are patrolling. Find out were they are and their position. Move to the area were they will not see you. The merchants do provide cover if you are on the opposite side. The best thing to do is get the convoys track. Run like hell to submerge ahead of them, this means losing sight of them. Once your are where you believe they will end up, submerge and work the hell out of the hydrophone to pick the up again. You will probably have to change you position but not much to get back in to the convoys track. Stay submerged and let the sheep come to you. Engines off and silent as a church house mouse. This allows you to make all your TDC calculations at your leisure. I have escorts blow by me and keep going while the sheep keep steam at me. Let the torpedoes fly and seek shelter in the deeps at this point. Surface and do it all over again. You have to realize the U-boat would chase the convoys for days making end rounds. You need to do it also. It is quite satisfying chasing for days. Trust me on that one!! I believe quite a few do what they can the first time with a convoy. It is really satisying to keep doing end rounds for days. Reloads are done at this time and anything else you need to do. Get set up again and have a go. I will hound a convoy until I have nothing left that will blow them up!
