After the destroyer throws in the depth charge, destroyer 500 turn around from submarine, most easy to sink by the submarine. So I think :The destroyer must leave beyond submarine 1000 and turn around .

If I destroyer captain, I can never let one's own ship in leave 500 meters of submarines right away turn back.

in the past ,I play Destroyer Command On-line with SH2,If my 500 turn back,I will die soon

I know what he is talking about. I sink destroyers like this all the time. All you need to do is pop up to periscope depth (blow ballast gets you there fast) right after the depth charge show is over. The destroyer will attempt to turn 180 deg from the path of his run to reaquire. Almost every time you can catch him at a perfect 90 deg AOB as he is turning to run again where he last had you. Lock him up and dial in a 20 deg left or right skew, set target speed to 0, resend the AOB to the TDC and fire a fast fish. I have even sunk ol' Bungo Pete this way.

If the destroyers would remain on the course of their attack run longer and begin their turn say 1000 yds from where they dropped this shot would be much harder. Right now they seem to turn at 500 yds from where they last dropped which lines up their broadsides perfeectly for a such a hip shot.

Sounds like he's trying to set up the shot the German Kapitan used in 'Enemy Below'.

"Now, just turn the right way, and I'll give you a pretty present"

I've used this one several times, not successfully every time. Ya gotta be quick with those fish.

Guys, not all of us of non-english origin speak your language fluently. Cut us some slack ;)
I'm sure you'd fare much worse if I asked you to say something in, for example, greek! :D
