i played alot of aod. i have been deeper than you can imagine, trying to get away from the evil DD. i think they do run out of DC's, i remember i bottemed the boat one time near scapa (shallow) and the DD kept driving over me but stoped DCing me. after a LONG TIME. i agree that GWX is a neck at neck for best game. AOTD FOR LIFE.

Your life would be a lot easier if you went to periscope depth (with the scope lowered) and 1/3 speed whenever you're at around 10km visibility or less. One of the flaws with Aces is it doesn't disable time compression when planes are spotted, make sure you have your finger on the Enter key and are looking at the charts when you're time compressed. Planes aren't really a problem for me in Aces (except an added problem when an escort carrier is near), I might try SH3 or 5 some time.
