U-355 longest patrol... (story about LRT mod in 42/43)

As I wrote in another damage post I find escorts very easy... still! Last time I just took a bad estimate while overtaking the convoy and had to attack it from 4km because it was doing 9kts and no way to repeat the attack. Even using steam torps near a DD haven't changed anything. The more brave I get it becomes easier. This rule doesn't apply to airplanes as in the example above....

Place yourself before the convoy on its exact path, but do it earlier not in the last minutes. Just sit there at 15m with your scope up and count the smoke stacks on the horizon. As the first escort passes you, you're home! He can't hear you behind his back and in front of 30 ships.
