Getting inside a convoy techniques ?

RENEGADE-623 · 07-09-07, 08:31 AM

I normally will go from the flank side of the convoy, depending on which flank is closer to me when i make contact. It is time consuminig but i use the free camera on normal time to get in middle of convoy, but if destroyer gets near me i stop til i see where he is heading. ill slowly inch my way forward whenever the destroyer turns away from me, then when i get up to 3 knots i select stop and drift forward. Takes a lot of time but it works for me all the time.

Get out in front of the convoy and submerge as deep as possible, heading right for the convoy. Off to one side of the centerline is preferable, but still inside the outer most column of boats. Run silent at 1kt.

Wait until the lead escort has passed and you're seeing a spread angle of 60 degrees on the merchant vessels, then give a rise to periscope depth at 2kts, and turn your boat toward the convoy course track. Reduce to 1kt as you approach p-depth.

Fire bow and stern tubes as quickly as possible.

Dive at 3 or 4kts until you get as deep as you can go, then run at 2 kts out the back flank of the convoy.
