G' day Captains,
I could use some advice on aircraft evasion. I recently added RSRD to TMO & am frustrated with the results.
My beloved Pigboat went from the Lion of the sea to a Nip target scow
.
With RSRD you start with zero renown so I can't purchase radar from the onset consequently my 1st warning of an aircraft is obviously once my deck watch spots it.
As soon as an aircraft is spotted I immediately go to GQ, throw the rudder hard over & crash dive. Thus far EVERY single time I do this I still get hit as I am submerging resulting in significant damage
.
I have altered tactics & am now remaining submerged during the day & patrolling at night. While this may be historically accurate it is less than gratifying.
I believe my method to evade the dive bombing attack are sound & yet them Nip pilots are unerringly accurate with their bombs. Do y'all have any suggestions on a better way to avoid the aircraft?
Many thanks for any suggestions,
Bob
