Just watched via camera. Escorts seem to know EXACTLY where you are. They always go right over my positon. :o :down:

I am not sure u-boat performance is modelled correctly. At flank, the IXC can't turn at all.... :nope:

It was a well known fact that submerged boats can always turn inside escorts.....perhaps its not modelled properly.
I have always heard that surfaced they could out turn a destroyer, but I have never heard that they could do that submerged. Everything I have read leads me to believe that, due to their slow speed, once submerged their only haven was to go as deep and silent as possible.
