Did they fix the taking damage from sitting on the bottom thing with 1.2? I remember trying this with 1.1, and my sub kept taking damage. I'll have to try it again tonight.

Hmm in 1.1 and 1.2 I just drift to the bottom carefully without propulsion, never seem to take damage, maybe just your approach angle and speed thats the prob.:yep:

One would think that it would be fairly easy to see a large submarine sitting on the bottom in shallow water in crystal clear water.

I could see that if it was light enough outside. :hmm: I think it was the improved escorts mod. They could hear the cook cleaning his toe nails and came over a couple of miles to see what it was.

Anyway needless to say i was in Deep S*** and shallow water...

No room to dive, no speed to escape and they were on top of me.

Tips?

PRAY ? :D

Decoys? The USN never used decoys on its subs in WWII. :doh:
