Now how the heck do I handle this one?

September 1939, U-48 Type VIIB, grid square AM 19.

It's currently three in the morning, I'm submerged listening to the hydrophones. I have an enormous convoy approaching me from dead ahead, still at long range. From what I can tell, I'm in excellent position.

Piece of cake, right?

Well, unfortunately, I'm in a heavy fog, overcast clouds, high seas, and I'm running real U-boat, and all I can see out of the scope is pitch friggin' black. I don't think I'd be able to spot a T3 at 50 yards in the current weather state.

According to the inital radio report, the convoy is traveling at six knots. I'm thinking of diving to 50 meters, letting the convoy pass over, then do a 180 and track 'em from astern until the weather clears up.

Anybody have any tactical advice?
