It's early 1940. I'm as cautious as can be sometimes sitting on the bottom dead still trying to wait out the English but they eventually find me. If I move dead slow, they just find me sooner. There can be as many as 10 ships on my map at a time.
Am I supposed to go all the way around the other way? What can I do to make it through in one piece? The game has stopped being fun cause I can't avoid getting DC'ed to death. Any suggestions besides playing something else?
Thanks,
Bob

- Avoid going through the English channel. The water is too shallow, the channel is too well guarded.
- Lying on the bottom doesn't help much in this game. Espeically if a destroyer already has detected you. The only time laying on the bottom might help is when they don't know where you are to begin with.
- Moving at a dead slow helps, silent running defniatly helps. Remember, how much noise your making depends on how many RPM's your motors are turning. and how well the enemy can hear you, depends on how calm the seas are. If the seas are glass calm, and your trying to go through the english channel, the odds are greatly against you.
- Going the other way around would be a good idea. At 1940, you own the night, and the odds are in your favor. Stay submerged by day to save fuel, surface at night.
