He took some serious damage but finally ended up ramming me and destroying the boat.
Also, with impact torps, what depth do you normally set them at?

Going after a DD is tempting but it is not what your purpose is. The Kreigsmarine wants you to sink tonnage and fortunately most of the heavy tonnage in this game comes unarmed or lightly armed. The only problem is the small escorts that get in your way on trying to sink that tonnage. I only engage DDs as a last resort. If I know they have found me and stay persistant with their depth charging I will eventually come to periscope depth and fire a salvo of torps that they are sure to meet. But only if it's an emergency!
