Thank god for ext cam
:rotfl:

2 choices for this: stop engines, or crash dive. Your type XXI will get too deep for the torp very quickly, so this is the best option, unless the torp is very close...:arrgh!:

Next time when sailing a XXI, remember that this one can launch torpedoes at around 49m max...:up:

I once tracked the torp with the "F12 external view" and saw it go for (and hit) the propoller (makes sense). The DD couldn't steer but continued afloat...

Are there any thumb rules (for n0000bs :oops: ) as to how to effectively use these??

Thanks and good hunting!

hi, sank a DD with a Falke the other day... maybe it's a question of the torp reaching the DD in a certain angle.

is it more effective to have the torp get to a DD that is salinig perpendicular to your course? or coming for you? in this case i might crank the engines up a bit to lure him towards the Falke... (dangerous though)

I should imagine the profile is larger if the target is perpendicular :hmm:

The way I used them most until now is loaded in the stern tube (or tubes depending which sub) set 5m deep and magnetic. Surface at safe distance from DD but still close enough so he sees me and start chasing full speed (which means homing will work) Dive to periscope depth, shoot when DD is 2000/3000 m away. Dive deeper at slow speed.
Almost every time a hit, usually the screws gone on the DD becoming a sitting duck.
Turn around, align for a bow shot, periscope depth and finish it off.
Used this most of the time in the Med when you often encounter 1 or 2 merchants with one escort.
