That is so much simpler than trying to scramble with the ID book/stadimeter/periscope lock/other settings when attacking a large convoy.

The 45° method might even allow enough time to empty the stern tubes as well, on an especially large convoy.
BTW, I believe the sea state affects premature detonation of your MK14. Enjoy your patrol!
