I agree with all the guys who use the thermal layer very helpful get under that. Also I agree with the running very slow and going ahead flank when you hear the freight trian comming even if there is another escort is near by he is not going to be able to hear you do to all the noise that the attacker will be making with his high speed run. Every time I ever tried only running at flank when I heard the cans drop they often hit me. You need that flank speed to get away from the cans if you do it too late your dead. I run at flank until I hear the first can go off then I cut to all stop wait for all the bangs then based on the attacker bearing I will order a turn away from him to try keep my subs stearn towards them then I will go less than 1 knot when I then drive the sub in a fasion to try and keep em on the stearn. Also make sure that when you go to falnk speed that your rudder is null any degree of turn will slow your speed when you need it most to avoid cans. I tend not to go too deep either unless they really seem to getting close I like to get below 300(Gato or later) but not too deep I want to have something to hide in latter if you go all the way to 400 right away then your screwed if they ping you as you have now set a mark for them that you will be at least that deep. At the same time diffrent people have diffrent systems what works for one may not work for another. Playing TMO 1.7 with latest RSRD. Also learn to be able to tell when you hear cans hit the water when they are a danger and when they are not the last thing you want to do is hit full speed when you hear cans dropping when they dont have a fix on you and they are off as once you hit flank speed they will figure out where you are.Listen for that train a comin that is the sure sign that your in danger of a run.Listen to your soundman if you know the escorts arent very close and the can splashes arent loud it is a sure sign they are pining something else not your sub or at least not where your sub really is.
