Today I got a reminder of how much more difficult the game is. On my next patrol while on my way to my patrol area I spotted an escort in bad weather heading straight for me. I dove to 150 meters and changed direction. Unfortunately my stern was hit with depth charges damaging the rear hatch and the electric engines. It said my electric engines were critically damaged. Despite this my speed didn't change, so I decided to go to 170, and stay submerged. Soon on my map I got 6 escorts detected by hydrophones. As one was making a pass over me I tried to go to flank and turn but the game wasn't bull****ting me about the engines because I couldn't gain any speed. I got hit by a few more depth charges causing damage in almost every compartment. I tried to blow ballast but it was too late and the last depth charge burst my pressure hull.
