Every time you coup with several DD's stay at periscope depth, set your torps at 45knts and always run fast.

Always manouever so as the DDs pass at 270 or 90 degrees. Manouever like that when they are at very close range so as they will not to be able to manouever when they detect your menouever and you will pass clear from their bow and the depth charges will expload far enough from your stern.

Then when they turn trying to depth charge you, set your torps at 45knots and straight fire when the DD is in 015 degrees moving left or 345 degrees moving right. This way you will sink one by one all of the DDs. I have sunk several times 3-5 with realism always all the way up to 100%.

The DD way of manouevering is a weakness of the game so take advantage of it!

BOW CAPS ALWAYS OPEN!

Then go in to the harbor and do whatever you want!

It was just one of those moments when you really feel like your not the only one fighting the war:up:

Wow, that's neat. Didn't know GWX provided that kind of realism.

That boy's had way too much grog.
