I know we all have our preference method of shooting, OKane, Vector, 8010

, ect..what is yours?
So many talk of using them, but I seldom do. I once lived by these mehtods, moreso with contacts on. They work great on single ships, but face it, a single ship comes my way, I'll TC until it's at about 350 at 600 yards, stad it and shoot, never miss.

I seldom use any type OKane attack when attacking a TF. With contacts off it's really impossible. I am getting better with the new radar mod and using pause. Often I find it leaves me in a bad position. Cromwell certainly is how I will setup as I approach at a better angle, less likely to get pinged and able to turn my sterns into the mix, but still very limiting. With TMO, many times an outer escort will sense you before you can fire regardless of perfection of approach.

Mainly, in a TF or large convoy the ships I want may be in the worse position to use OKane type attacks. This is more of a problem with contacts off. Simply I may have to change direction several times while approaching submerged, dodging escorts and working into a decent shooting position, impossible to stay on a fixed course. Then you may have 30 seconds to fire, so it's usually a quick manual setup and shoot a spread by the wire.
