My advice: Aim for the bow!

Hi all!

I am on my 11th patrol now in September 1941 with GWX 1.3 and due to my experiences i can highly recommend to aim for the bow when attacking with torpedoes.

With this method i managed to sink small merchants of course, a lot C2's, 2 large tankers, 1-2 troops, whale factory, aux cruiser, light cruiser and so on.
Most merchants will sink after a llittle time. I assume that heavy weather and rough sea is to your advantage then. ships will slow down as soon as the amount of water ducks down the bow until the engines cant push the weight forward anymore.

Attaking C3's and this other type of large cargo u may have bad luck, the most of the time need 2 torps.

U will save some torpedoes trying this, check it out. The following picture shows a bow hit. Aim for this spot or a few meters more to stern and u'll probably be successful. As this was a C3, it needed one more hit this time..
