bob has so much to learn about TGW,

the damage model is a bit tricky though.

but dont worry about convoys.

first of all, dont wait for the confirmation that it is sunk.
just fire a torpedo or 2 at it or maybe 3 but I mainly shoot 2 torpedos at Medium or large merchants. so you damage at least 2 compartments an create floodings in them. now, focus urself on an other target after you have the 2 torpedo's hitting the other ship. at the other target you do exact the same 2 torpedo's.

now what I do is mostly lower my Periscope and dive a bit deeper. and I,m going to rearm my torpedo tubes.

and now 3 things can happen:
1. the ship will listen to one of its side, and sink of the damages you done.
2. the ship you shot will be crippled in the water, eather very slow moving and he will be left behind. or he will be dead in the water stationary.
3. the torpedo didnt do severe damages and he will continue the trip.

Now, I sink the cripled that are left behind with my deck gun. I just wait for the rest of the convoy to be far away. now when the 2 ships are sunk I rearm my torpedo tubes and go full speed and go on the chase, I intercept and do more damages.


sometimes when I didn know it. I had shot 3 different ships, the escorts where having a hang on me and forced me to dive deep. now without seeing or knowing it because I was busy repairing and evading the Escorts , the 3 ships I shot resulted to be 2 confirmed sinkings, and 1 left stationary in the water. now the 2 ships that where sunk could manage to travel some extra kilometers from where I shot them. the other one I finished of when the escorts where heading back to the convoy.
