Search for task force with 9 kn speed!

Hi, I just catch 2 of 3 british subs! 07 febr 1942, 11º38 E 40º 11 N!
They travel with 11 Knots SUBMERGED

- SO, AFTER I make a save (outsaide of visual range) I try to get closer - but no chance!

Advices: dont try to shoot them with torpedo! no chance! I try salvo, individual shoot, no results! Worst, they dive! So, just re-load the save and:

first - deep to periscope, get the direction with sonar man, then surface with full diesel speed. Big surprise for me, they just get again on periscope deep and I have a visual contact with them in 2000 m range.
I run to the deck gun and I start shooting, and strange, they dont dive!
So, after 20-25 round, I manege to destroy the 1º one!

Strange again, the second one was in oposite direction STILL on periscope deep, so I just start fire on them; I manage to get 5-6 from 25-30 with piercing rounds and, for my great satisfaction, the kills count in the mission.
