Well, lets see. Depends on the year you are in. I used to try and get in attack position submerged if it was a lone DD. Now Im in June 1942 and those damn Tommies got radar now. Found that out the hard way

So now I dive and evade.

Last patrol I caught a fat convoy in AM51. Bad weather and heavy fog. Long storey short I only managed to sink a coastal and a C2 before limping back home to port with a barely seaworthy boat and 8 fish left. Those damn DDs zeroed me everytime I broke the surface. Guess Ill need to rethink my tactics now. :hmm:

It was fun tho

First time I been Beat up that bad.
