Here's another good one. A lot of new players think that Britain did not have Asdic or that their Asdic was terrible.
Truth: britain's Asdic was very good. They had w trial by fire in the first war. The Germans turned the u-boat into a living nightmare on the sea. Britain learned from their mistakes.
Trouble was, 21 years passed until they needed it again. The treaty of Versailles stated that Germany would not manufacture any more u-boats. Being a time of honor, it was expected that Germany was playing ball. Oh was the world wrong.
So now WW2 is in effect, many Asdic veterans are dead or too old and the sailors had to relearn the procedures from academies and books.
It was the radar that kicked Germany's butt.
The Asdic is good newbie... Respect it!
