Wait until you have 6 Type C escorts on you, think they drop 24 charges per run, sounds like machine gun fire underwater. I have set many of mine to elite for fun and they hunt like dogs, often coming in pairs making runs side by side. Heck, I've even seen them throw charges on the nearby escorts. If I'm in shallow water, instead of trying to outrun the charges by going flank, I'll stay slow and hit back emergency when he starts his run with a hard turn, usually works great.

Moving some of my old patrol reports from Ubi forum here, just posted this one. I got mad at myself, this was a long career, no saves. I survived massive attacks until a few escorts were making dry runs, thought I would live...
