I'm down to 3 knots and have my ears on him waiting to see a transient spike or the whine of a torpedo.
very common tactic that makes you easy prey for experienced and coordinated ASW forces.
Do you slow down when your target increases distances (with high speed) to your sub? In my opinion you loses opportunity to engaging.

I wonder what is your tactic when your task is screening allied surface group which transit 10-15 kts?

Scenarios where main task is simple but surviving is not (for example: staying alive in next 1 hour after sinking main target) are my favorite!
