Thank you, the for quick replies!
For a Sub Driver like any noob does, I do the dumbest thing I charge straight ahead at Flank speed with the hopes of getting to the ambush spot (the default course spot) before they do. I try to stay at periscope depth, somehow I always end nose to nose with the Lead Destoryer, here is where it goes bad to worst. Because I have the download verisons of the game I don't have the manuals or I haven't found it yet, therefore I'm not up to speed of the combat manuvers.
I just can't see a Skipper in middle of a battle pulling out the NAV Chart & plotting for a Crazy Ivan

.
Sidenote: Does anyone know if "Das Boot" is out on DVD, I haven't seen it since I was in middle school for a class, that's been about 20 years or so.
Thank you,
