Hey - try actually hunting warships before you brag about it, dots on a screen is nothing special.

Perhaps. But thats what my orders are... to strangle england slowly by cutting of her supplies.

Im just a sailor following orders. :up:

Destroyers have hydrophones and torpedoes make noise. That's why he evaded it.

Then that brings up the question what arc do the hydrophones have and does it (and it most likely does) grow as the war goes on. Also how far can they hear you from?

Unless I am short of torpedos I always prefers a close range bow shot on frigates or destroyers, following up with the stern tube as it passes over. It's important to be slightly to one side of the target to aviod damage as it passes over though, and have repair crews in place for depth charge repost. A risky strategy when dealing with more than one close range escort though, I ended up with 10% compressed air and hanging almost vertical at 120 metres with heavy flooding. Survived though, to my surprise, with 72% hull integrity.

I don't know if anyone has already said this, but when GWX comes out, you better DIVE!!! And fast! There will be no more sleepy British sailor, but the Big Mean Buldog comming to get you! And I have to wait till Friday to test it out. Oh, the inhumanity! :damn:

About the only time I'll engage a DD is when they're hot on my trail.. Right before I crash drive, I'll kick it up to flank, raise my scope to 180 & set up a rear tube shot.. Works 60% of the time.. The other 40 I get the snot knocked out of me :damn:

Early in the war I will take out all the escorts or at least try my fav shot are to hit the biggist ship in tyhe convoy and hope there's a DD nearby less than 300m from the ship I've targeted if she's carrying something volitile she will take out the escort as well.Late in the war 44 onwards it seems to me they always find me if I take 1 out they all seem to come at me at the same time.even if am lucky to take all of them out,the mercs are armed and the airforce is never far away.

The trick to taking on armed trawlers I found, and they are more deadly than they look (their deck gun can cause you a lot of damage) is to get in behind them outside of their arc of fire, then as they turn, match the turn rate and keep firing. In calm seas though they can be fairly swift, so it might be a high speed chase. Don't bother using the flak gun, it might be modded to cause damage but it didn't seem to have any affect.

you can compare the Escorts/DDs in GWX with

the ''Postman on a bloody monday'' and the mean doggy nearby the letterbox :lol:
