Beating the Wraith

[Nufsed]

October 15th 1939
2nd Patrol South Western Approaches

Univentfull Tranist arrived on station 3am October 15th. Radio report of large Convoy 70miles south east, set course at flank speed. Convoy sighted 11:30am, 3 escorts port starbord and centre. 12:15 dived to P depth and reduced speed to 1 knot, rigged for silent running. Have avoided forward escorts, this is a very large convoy so est at least 5/6 destoyers, must be cautious. 14:20 have sunk 4 ships,1 large cargo, 2 tankers and a tramp steamer. Dived to 160mtrs, I was right six destroyers and they all headed my way, left it a bit to long on the last target, damn! 16:00 slight damage and 4 injuries, but they still have us pinned down. depth keeping is almost impossible below 100mtrs, if allowed she would sink into the deapths, keep adjusting depth and speed. 18:50 more damage, damn below 150mtrs I have to run at flank just to keep her nose up, still pinned, they are taking turns to run at me, counted 30+ DC's. 20:25 getting serious now bat down to 49% and CO2 up to10%. 20:40 last try, dropped decoys, set planes hard arrise and reduced speed to half of one knot. 20:59 Yess I think they bought it, destroyers moving away. 21:30 surface the boat and set course for Wilhelmshaven. We have beaten the Wraith!

Many thanks to TDW for his AI mod....brilliant!:rock:

what version of IRAI were you using? If it was the latest then it sounds like I have the AI hydrophone and sonar about where they need to be. They are very difficult but not impossible to escape from once detected :DL

You Sir are a genius! This has completley transformed this sim, thank you. It was 15.1 by the way. Having some trouble with the UI mod though (there's always a "but", oh well tha's life..;-) Same probs as on the UI post, after docking It says I'm injured and won't let me get the next mission, changed UI to Reapers and it worked perfectly.

I had a similar experience 2 days ago using 1.15 i attacked a task force of 6 destroyers sinking 1 but the other 5 set on me ( march 1940) after 6 game hours i managed to get away and head for home. The difficulty seems about right i think the only difference now between this and sh3 is the sound of the dc's and the shake of the sub when near miss. DW this is a great mod and I thank you for your work. :)
