A very basic tactic for distroyer evastion is go deep and stay silent. Crash dive to 80m and once you are there engage silent runing and try and slink away very slowly. Flaow a zig zag course to evade depth charge attacks. Change speed as soon as a distroyer starts droping charges, they are counting on you maintaining course and speed for their attack to sucseed so don't help them out.

In shalow waters things get a little more tricky beacouse the maximum depth you can manuver at may well be in the best range of their detection equipment. Still go deep and silent, under 20m is best so you don't get rammed. The distroyers will take up a circular attack patern try and determine weather they are traveling clock-wise or counter clock-wise, as reckond from North, using the hydrophone or just siting in the command room and listening, asuming you aren't using external cameras that is. Once you know, or think you know which way they are traveling turn the other way one quarter turn and then run in a more or less strait line away from them, still maintaing silent runing. This will allow you to get out of their attack patern and use their motions to put distance between you and them much faster. If the enemy find you again and reposition to attack you start over, this works very well for deep water as well.

If you take a hit do what ever you can to keep from sinking lower in the water. If you go nose down throw your engens in reverse until you stop sinking; if your tail end is sinking throw the engens into forward mode. Abandon silent runing long enuf to get the flooding to stop pump out enuf water to maintain bouancy. The added speed should help to evaid any depth charges that are sure to fall accuratly on you once you start being loud again if you are lucky.

If all else fails and you can't shake your enemy go to parascope depth, time it so you don't get rammed or come up into a depth charge run, line up on your attacker and put some eels into the bastards; one well placed shot is all it takes to kill a distroyer and if by chance they survive the hit they should be slowed down enuf that you can get away with ease.
