Finally got a PC that can handle Grey Wolves... and after a few patrols, it's getting deleted.

I love the look. I love the extra little features, and the new targets. I can live with the constant radio chatter, that makes me dismiss my radio man from duty so I can actually travel to where enemy ships might be, at greater than real-time.

But I can't handle the escorts. Coming within range of one is the end of each career. No exceptions.

I can easily outlast their stores of depth charges, but my store of oxygen is limited, and their patience is unlimited.

My last career, I dragged two escorts off a convoy for more than 36 hours. At 150 meters depth and less than 1 knot, they never, ever left me. They could ping me easily. They never got more than a few hundred meters away from my position. I was using external view extensively, so I know.

When I got desperate, I got myself to periscope depth a couple times to loose off all my torpedoes. I actually sank one of them. My last two eels missed the escort by a few feet, so I decided to make a fight of it on the surface.

My two shells did him some serious damage, but I had yellow-damaged compartments, so I got under again. I was repairing, corrected flooding in two compartments, stopped an uncontrolled descent and was coming up through 50 meters when I apparently imploded.

Does any damage at all = dead?

Has any player ever seen an escort and survived?

Going back to stock.
