Im back again, and GWX is kicking my butt
 
in the middle of a convoy attack off the west coast of brittan, one of these jucy 1940 convoys byt the escorts always seem to pick me up, even runninf at 40M at 2 knots... :shifty:

I did manage to snag a Whale, a Large Cargo, and a tramp

40m is really, really shallow.

Way too shallow. Go deeper, say about 100m (if you can).

Forty meters is a perfect depth to listen to the distant sweet, murmur of approaching screws.

After doing the hoochie-woochie boom-boom, dive deep into the cold embracing bosom of the ocean. :smug:

Possibly even 150+ http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

If hunted by competent ASDs, I go deep - 150M or more. Partly because I've heard early depth charges can't go that deep, partly because that extra depth forces a wider margin of error on the falling depth charges. Just like low-altitude bombing is more accurate than high-altitude, shallow-depth depth charging is more accuratent than deep-depth. Go deep!

That did it, hit about 168 and the Tin Cans backed off, most apreciated :up:

Always happy to meet another Volk, so no worries and good hunting!
