SH3 advice: Gibraltar by daylight

Boompus · 03-04-2012, 10:18 AM

Hello,

I'm doing the single mission Gibraltar now. Almost in Grid CG96.
The problem is: it's sunrise, patrols all over the place and submerged (150m) with lowering CO2 en 50% batt. I think this is hopeless... or is there a tactic for a happy end..?

Thnx for reading this transmission (now they know for sure that I'm down there somewhere...;-))

Reverse course , out of sight of patrol's , surface , recharge batteries and oxygen , wait for bad weather if possible , proceed surfaced in the dead of night , dive only when imminent danger . Best of Luck and Good hunting !

Get as far through on the surface as you can, and when you dive hug the African coast. That's all I can say.

Thnx. I think they sent the whole fleet to hunt me. I sunk one of them earlier on. Bad tactic of me I guess. That made me the hunted.

You are now the Hunted , dive deep , silent running , if one Destroyer , use the hydrophone to determine it's run then full flank speed when you hear the depth charges dropping , count the splash's , second to last drop , drop to slow or play dead by full stop , repeat procedure , if two destroyers play dead , one will be listening to you while the other makes it's run . Best of Luck . You are about to experience the Pucker Factor !

Yep... I'm afraid so. Isn't there a "The Enemy Below" mod? Hunted by only one destroyer ?

Yeah. Charge the enemy with your deck gun a-blazing. They'll scatter.

Make a 180 degree turn is safest

That's one of the problems. Deck gun is damaged. So plenty of reasons to surface for a longer period...

Well, there's always the time-honored tactic of ramming.
