Default Hit!! 24 hrs from Base

Ok, Your thoughts please gentlemen;

There i am cruising along 15 kts in my type 9, full load as i have just left Bergen AF 87 bound for AE 27. 4 Catalina pby's jump me and i dive the boat, 3 of the catalinas bombs miss me but the 4th takes out my Port Rudder Destroyed and Stern Dive Planes Destroyed.

Ok, 2 things.

Do i continue with the damage, i seem to have mobility and diving seems slower but thats all.

If that sort of thing happens again, how should i avoid it. I called dive, ahead full and maintained course. Would it help if i turned to dived to avoid attack.

Cheers
