Ahh no.. it was 238m range to target on the third DD. type II Eel was able to arm and sink 'em in that range.
Only had 80m to work with in depth.
But i did long slow turns at max depth and eventually they left.
Sat beside the merch's at peri depth for about 4-5 hours, then popped up and finished them both off with only a few dozen rounds total.
Thanks for all the help guys!
