[Armistead]

Just try to stack as many things in your favor before you attack. One of the worse things you can do is attack in dead calm water, but sometimes you have no choice. Sometimes it's best to track and see what happens.

Stay narrow as possible to the nearest escort...Usually what gets a ping is when your broadside is exposed to an escort.

When you do come under attack, the typical evasion method is to go deep, when the enemy starts his run, hit flank, add a small turn. Almost always the charges will fall behind you, you're simply outrunning them. Then go back to silent.

Sometimes it's best to wait to night and do a surface attack. Crse mods vary, but with TMO or RSRD you'll have to do them long range. Shoot from about 6000 yards with M14's from your sterns and haul tail. THey will come out there searching, leaving a flank exposed. Go in attack that flank..
