It wasn't long before he called in several of his friends. One after another, more destroyers answered the call. Unfortunately, that was as exciting as it ever got. I set the engines for flank just to draw their attention and not once did any of them go to active sonar - not a single ping. A couple just continued to make sweeps and depth charge runs behind me, but never came close. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate the hard work that went into this test mod, but it's going to need much more. I replaced the old files and I found that the destroyers were much more aggressive. Go flank and they've got ya.

Myself, I haven't tried the settings yet, but if I were you, I wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet. Depending on the year, DD type, and other variables, you may not have gotten an accurate depiction of the settings.

My suggestion is to try it in '44 or '45 and see if the DD's are anymore challenging. My guess is that you will DIE plenty of horrible deaths...

But then again, that's what you wanted, right? :rotfl:

This post made me wonder: I am in June 1940, playing unmodded SH3, and the destroyers ping alot. Just 15 min ago, I was entering the strait of gibraltar from the east and a destroyer was heading right for me. I crash dived, changed course, went to silent running and 2 min later:ping.....ping.....ping.....ping......ping, ping, ping, ping
some more minutes later: DC directly on my head.

So I have nasty DDs with active in 1940 already.
