Fun isn't it Bill? Never had my heart pounding so much when I had my damage control team working to save my boat from damage suffered from my stupidity (BB Rodney vs U 47 surface battle in GWX3.0. I nearly sank)

Never been hit by DC's though, always dove below 200m if I need to. 200m is about the reach of Allied sonar early in the war.

Update to my patrol log. Made contact with a convoy in the BE's earlier. Scored a hit on a modern tanker, dove and reloaded my rear tubes due to my fronts being exhausted and my rear shot missed its victim (Although I'm pretty sure I shot too close. Arming distance for TI's is 400m isn't it?) No contact with 2 J&K class escorts. Tracked now damaged modern tanker for just over an hour (Convoy was less than 1/2 an hour away. Maneuvered to engage with deck gun. Put 20 rounds into his hull. 1 modern tanker down for one eel fired at it and a couple rounds of DG ammo. I high tailed it out of the area as my watch crew spotted a J&K class DD on its way back. Dove to 120m to avoid and vacated the area, now trying to overhaul the convoy due to some juicy meat in the convoy.
