Hi John, Well, its been a long time since I played that mission, but here is a basic overview of how I generally go about beating that mission. I set course for sector E-3, and wait for the enemy fleet to appear. I face north and as soon as the lead destroyers come within torpedo range I go for a couple of bow shots. I usually put one torpedo in each destroyer damaging and sometimes sinking them. Obviously, this takes some precision and practice, and rather than relying on the target tracking I just do the calculations in my head which is usually more reliable when going for bow shots.
Anyway, once the lead destroyers are damaged or hopefully destroyed I dive down about 60 feet reload the two torpedoes, and begin hunting for the flagship. Obviously, its hunting me too, but as long as I'm quiet and evade I can maneuver around it and come up slowly and put all four torpedoes into its side. Worst comes to Worst I'll go for a stern shot and I've actually killed the battleship a few times from the rear. Its actually easier than the bow shots earlier because the battleship is wider and I'm less likely to miss the stern than the bow. Basically, like I said I use the destroyers as a diversion. I damage or sink them which forces the fleet to stop and search for the submarine. While the fleet is doing that I take whatever evasive measures as necessary and then move into some position to hit the battleship when it is hunting in the wrong location for me. The hardest part of all this is you have to be good at aiming and firing torpedoes, and getting tricky shots like bow and stern shots as sometimes those are the only way to hit the battleship while it is hunting. The more destroyers you sink or damage before going for the battle ship the easier it will be evading and attacking the battleship as you won't have them dropping depth charges down on your head and blowing fish out of the water. :D Cheers!
