I've had 2 task force encounters in 2 careers.

1. Was a dido and fiji moving into the atlantic by cape town. (early 44)

2. Was a Illustrious and revenge battelship.... they came out of no-where. High seas, heavy rain/ fog. early 40

I was listening on the hydrophone and told myself WTH is that? Just a mess of noise that I couldn't decifer. They were moving in a column directly @ me, and it sure didn't sound like a couple of destroyers.

gotta say it was probably the luckiest encounter ever for me. by the time I got myself together they were already ontop of me, A quick hard to port, and fire a 4 shot spread into the fog @500 meters...

I tried watching the explosions and sinking with the external camera..... but i couldn't see a thing and my fps dropped to 1.

both encounters the speeds really threw me off, they're making 21 knots and you really have to play waaay farther in advance otherwise you'll find that your torps are chasing after the target instead of running towards it.
