I did this in sh3, setting them aflame, then using that to put some distance.
While keeping them in sight.
I also had my crew 'taking care of buisiness', and they got the bright idea of shooting through a T3 trying to hit something else on the far side, that had moved behind the T3...
Before I could get them to stop, they 'sank' the T3, I ordered a crash dive... but too slow.
The resulting blast rolled my sub over about 90deg. and "we're taking damage sir!" followed by the end game screen.
After that, my crew was on a VERY short leash...
Then again, I have a screen shot from SH3, I was out of torpedoes, and the DD was "dead in the water", but not "sinking", and it wasn't giving me credit, so I got on it's port side and RAMMED it. Nothing, so I backed up and did it again, this time I did an emergency surface and I was mostly on top of the DD.
Massive damage to the front of the type XXI, and I was using the AA guns to try to finish it off.
I backed off of the DD and caused even MORE damage to my XXI, but it finally went down.
Sometimes, you gotta do, what you gotta do.
