To my surprise checking the scope to be sure I'd lost them, they were under air attack. They come under air attack when you call in the report sometimes so that helps. I scored about 5 other ships via torpedoes and the deckgun once I rolled into Danzig port and outlying areas.
The Luftwaffe is not responding to my BDU report

The task force I'm supposed to take out consists of two Gryf minelayers, unfortunately they have fantastic spotters. A tiny periscope from 4km should not be that easily detected. Should I try to stalk them and wait for night or bad weather?
