question for the sh3 diehards!
 

hello guys what are the best evasive tactics when you are under destroyer attack playing at 100% realism? GWX 2.1 is *********G HARD!

Don't get under attack! Don't go inside the convoy!

Shoot the dog/s - then kill the sheep!

Ok - shoot the guard/s of one side and set up for a new attack . Maybe 20 km - from the same side. Then you've got plenty of time to fire your bow torpedoes from 3000 meters and draw back again for the third run.
Don't wait for impacts - shoot and run at flank! Stay at PD!
It takes some time for the rest of the guards to close in for your last known position.
When they come closer drop your speed accordingly to their distance. End at 1 Knot/50RPM and keep showing your six.

It works for me.

Whenever they got you on sensors - stay at PD and observe their actions.
It gives you more alternatives and even some advantages.
You can race whenever the DD shows his stern section - he can't hear you.
If he passes over you at PD he often blows his stern racks off - due to shallow DC settings. All following attacks will be quite harmless. (Especially Black Swans!)
You allways have the option to bite back if necessary.

You state you play 100% realism.

While proven tactics are good, You are the Kaluen.

You make the decisions and make your escape.

That imho is what 100% realism is all about.

You make the successful attack.

You make the successful escape.

It will then be very rewarding.

As a plus, You will be able to post Your new Hit & Run tactic.:up:

But that's the whole fun of SHIII! :D

:hmm:

D/l the cloaking device mod http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

stay out of shallow water

Read the articles on evasion and survival on my kielman webbie. They might help. :D

jim I'm a bit :-? on this one.

The Klingon or Romulan cloaking mod?

Which one is the best?

Or just pull the cloak over your eye's.

If I can't see you, you can't see me ... CHICKEN LITTLE :p

It really depends on what time of the year. Some basic tips:

1- Go deep
2- Run silent
3- Run slow
4- Try to time it so that just before the depth charges hit the water, you go to flank with a 90 degree turn- you either need to use your scope or try to listen to the destroyer's sound (I'd recommend using both until you're familiar with the sound)
5- Going flank in reverse can throw the enemy, especially if they're re-aquire you when you are in reverse, then you switch to forward when they attack (they'll expect you to continue going reverse, and so you dramatically widen your gap from them)
6- Move AWAY from the convoy, if any, in the hopes that they eventually give up and go

Doesn't work. :dead: :damn:

Remember, when going deep you offer a much bigger surface in squaremeters to echo the ping!
