If you know the bearing of the attacking DD, you could try running towards it at top speed, to get under it before the DD can adjust its hedgehog launch time. Then you will be coping with its wabos instead. It's a trade-off, of course: you may survive the pass, but you will not "slip the noose," esp. if there is a hunter-killer team -- and you lose a bit more battery power each time.
Then again, maybe you will have some interesting tales of an engagement lasting several hours, with the oxygen or the battery power running out! Happy Days!  |
I just started GWX3.0 and spent 2 and 1/2 hours avoiding DC's from 3 or 4 DD's after taking out a light cruiser. Since this was on Sept 9th 1939 when its suppose to be easy, I was wondering if I could get some pointers on avoiding before I get killed. My attack may have been ill advised as there were no waves, it was broad daylight and only about 90m deep.
Now when you have 3 or 4 DD's or DE's ganging up on you. How can you tell which of the DD's will be making a run at you? Since my crew is brand new, my Hydrophone guy kept losing contact with the nearest warship even though the nearest warship was like 200m away or less. I have read to make your aspect small by turning to the DD that is pinging you. With multiple DD's is that feasible? Seems like one pings, one listens and 1 drops DC's and you have to turn to avoid the DC's so you can't worry about your aspect in regard to the other DD that is pinging. This attack lasted about 2 and 1/2 hours. Out of that time I bet I got pinged 2 hours and 15 minutes.
Fortunately I started with fresh batteries and they never really got the depth accurate.
