Sorting the Sheep from the Greywolves

I didn't vote because the options were not suitable for my choices.

Normally, on my way to my grid zone and come across a lone warship, I'll take her out if the situation allows it.

If I'm attacking a convoy, I prefer nights and/or bad weather. I'll take out as many merchants as I can. But, when I'm being bothered by an escort, I'll try to take it out. But if that is not possible, then I'll go deep and sneak away.

However, I never attack a convoy in shallow waters.

I have just engaged a convoy at night and in bad weather and was able to take out two ships before a J Class DD came after me and I had to go deep, then silent running at 1 kt manouvering to get away. This time I had some top damage. I managed to get away and surface and make my repairs and load my externals. Now, there were two Troop Transports in that convoy, so, I'm going to shadow it and hope the weather stays bad and when it is suitable, I'm go in and take out those two transports and anything else I can. I'd love to take out that J Class DD which caused me to cut off my attack and gave my ship some damage.

I will be posting my attack sometime today as soon as I get it up on Youtube.
