Re: Sub evasion doctrine. I've witness several incidents in littoral ASW missions where the new sub evasion doctrine is causing the subs to bottom out and run aground. Happens about 40-50% of the time in waters less than 100 meters deep.

Anyone else confirm this behavior. Sometime the behavior can be written off as role-play with the sub purposely sitting on the bottom to spook the torp, but most of the time is pretty much a nosedrive at 20knots into the seafloor with the sub scrapping the ground trying to obtain flank speed.

To witness the behaviour I recommend the mission FF Gatekeeper and watch the Oscar and/or Trafalgar when evading torps.
