A touch of luck!

on my third patrol, 64% realism. GWX 1.3
i have manual targeting (only do it on stationary ships.) off, external views, and a couple others.

on my way up the english coast (i follow the coasts to reap as much as possible from the coastal traffic.)
i came across a task force leaving inverness
3 fiji cruisers, and im guessing about 6 destroyers. cant remeber exactly.

i torp 2 cruisers with two-torp spreads...leaves them both immobilised.
finding a touch of patience, i wait until the escorts leave
nobodys picking up survivors i guess
i swing around, and finish the fist with shots to the boilers and the ammo hold (no catastrophically large explosions

)
and i swing around and finish the other likewise.
i surfaced, and exited the patrol, im not gonna try and push my luck, but i ended up sinking about 25000 on that one.
slowly but surely...
