Here&#8217;s the full list:<\/p>\n<p>1. Efficient lookouts are of prime importance.<br \/>\n2. It is essential not simply to spot the target, but to spot it in good time.<br \/>\n3. Lone ships should be attacked on the surface with gunfire in order to save expensive torpedoes.<br \/>\n4. Survivors should be assisted where possible.<br \/>\n5. Convoys should only be attacked in daylight if it is not feasible to wait for nightfall.<br \/>\n6. Attack at night from the dark side of the convoy, so that the target is silhouetted and the submarine is in shadow.<br \/>\n7. When there is little or no moonlight, attack from the windward side [to avoid a visible white bow-wave when motoring into the wind].<br \/>\n8. Fire one torpedo per target, not fanned salvoes.<br \/>\n9. Fire at close range.<br \/>\n10. Once the attack is launched, do not submerge except in circumstances of dire necessity. Remember that on the surface it is easier for you to spot the enemy than for the enemy to spot you.<br \/>\n11. Dive only for two hours before dawn each day, to rest the crew, sweep with the sound detection equipment, etc.; otherwise, remain on the surface.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_2020-10-14-Wolfpack-Killers-\u2013-U-Boat-Tactics-\u2013-WW2-Special.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_2020-10-14-Wolfpack-Killers-\u2013-U-Boat-Tactics-\u2013-WW2-Special-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-60890\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_2020-10-14-Wolfpack-Killers-\u2013-U-Boat-Tactics-\u2013-WW2-Special-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_2020-10-14-Wolfpack-Killers-\u2013-U-Boat-Tactics-\u2013-WW2-Special-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_2020-10-14-Wolfpack-Killers-\u2013-U-Boat-Tactics-\u2013-WW2-Special-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Screenshot_2020-10-14-Wolfpack-Killers-\u2013-U-Boat-Tactics-\u2013-WW2-Special.png 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World War Two Published 13 Oct 2020 German U-Boats were a big threat to Allied shipping across the Atlantic.
