I noticed that it seems like their depth charges seem score direct hits anddestroy the sub time and time again the instant I rig for silent. It's disappointing because I've nailed four and five ships out of a convoy only to be killed right away. Is there anything to tweak down the AI? I play for fun. Some realism is great, but hardcore isn't for me. Things have gone down this way three times with different convoys.
When they are pinging you,wait till SO says "depth charges in the water" and then flank ahead and turn.Some may not know how it all works and its very hard even when you do.Put your SO to follow nearest warship and try to keep him at your 180 to reduce the amount of your ship your presenting.I do not go deep and survive this way(around 70m tp 100m)....though I am in Type IIa with max 100m dive depth and am not even past 1941.
