Can I really neuter this DD?

Only one left on the convoy I'm currently eradicating. The sleaze is just getting annoying, and I don't want to waste a torp on Her. My thought was to sneak up at night, and plant a couple quick rounds of 105 into the stern blowing the DC racks. Can Her crew fix it? Will they stay boomed? Am I just trying to commit suicide?

You are trying to commit suicide.

No they won't repair it untill you are out of contact from them. I"d sink the destroyer, surface and play hell with the surface craft!

You also didn't say what year your in, if it's pre 42' then follow my advice, if post 42 ingore and sink as many merchants as you can!

Here is some generic advice

:

Sneak between escorts and aim at what ever you can. Then Do what you do best to avoid DC from that bottering DD.

Afterwards, you get to kill the lifeline of the enemy and piss off their defenders

I couldn't feel better doing that at your place but that's me

Christmas day 1940. And I have already put eels in three Swans. I have 15 Boomsticks, and a full load for Enid. And it really isn't any more difficult to set up for a torp solution than to close to 3km on the surface. Ohh the things A Kaleun must decide...
