So basically the plan would be to go as deep as I can (240m?) and keep my engines going real slow (50 rpm), and then once I hear the ships pass overhead to go to flank for maybe 30 seconds, then back to slow?
I didn't surface b/c I was out of air...I surfaced b/c I got impatient at the amount of real time it was taking...plus this was only my second patrol of the career, and my first patrol wasn't terribly successful. I just don't have time to spend 2-3 hours sitting at 8x time compression trying to dodge destroyers
The convoy was a big one, I would guess over 50 ships. I don't know if those 3 ships were the whole escort or not.
How much range does a sonar ping have? 1000m?
