XXI submerged attacks

As I see this, the Fast 90° Method should work for attacking without seeing the target. It is described in detail in Naboos manual targeting tutorial.

With sonar and hydrophone you're able to locate the target's position and mark it on the map, wait the 3:15, do it again, and you get its course and speed. position yourself in front of it, at a good attacking range, heading a 90° course relativ to the target one's. Then you just wait for the ship to get in your 0° line and this will be the exact moment the target has an AoB of 90° on you.
You can easily adapt this method, e.g. if the target will have you starboards (if this is the RIGHT side, just know the german names) and you can turn 10° to the right and wait for the target to get into you 350° line. Analog if you approach the ship from the other side. This little adaption will reduce your gyro angle. How many °'s you need to turn to get a 0° gyro mainly depends on the target's speed.

Edit: About the maximum depth you can fire torpedoes from your XXI I've read something some time ago, dunno where and what though :> Wasn't that something about 50-60 meters ? Really unsure about this, better not trust me.
