Thanks, I'll have to give that a shot when I'm playing lone wolf
some time. I appreciate the clarification, I had thought you were
attacking from the side of the convoy.

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!

Is there any more detail you could give me? I find that all the
ships tend to move in the exact same direction and I have a very
hard time getting anywhere near them as the battleships and
carriers are so far underwater. Somehow I managed to get all
four
torps right past the guardds to the flagship once, but I've
never
managed it again.
