Convoy Problems

I can usually get the speed & course, but the zig zag plan I never can get right.

I followed a convoy all day once & it never varied its course once, but as soon as I raced ahead at night & got into position at 3000m from me it changed its course 90 degrees going away from me... The tail end DD's swung way out & ran right over the top of me...Then I spent the next hour or so getting blasted...

Right now I have a convoy in sight, but it is just getting light so I'll have to stay clear all day & maybe I can figure something out by dark..

There are about 14 ships & 8 DD's Plus one Dido class right in the center and an "S" sub (what ever that is) in line behind the last merchant..5000m behind him is another Black Swan.

There are a couple of Dd's inside of the first row of ships...

I took a 7500m shot just for grinns, they are only going 3kts in heavy seas, and danged if I didn't hit a Liberty Cargo just in front of the ships wheel house...it's burning like crazy & even had secondary explosions, but after 30 minutes it is just sailing along with no problems.

Perhaps I should just pass on this one..
