Persistent destroyers:
August 1940, HT campaign, 100% realism. Great convoy in sight, at noon, I dive but they see me from long distance (only smokes on the horizon). They start to shot to me. I submerge to 140 mts. They start to ping me. Then, the depth charges rain starts. No damage. I try to take some distance from the escorts; there are four according the hydrophone, and very agressives. I start to go out of the area; the escorts stuck at me, the four damned destroyers. Due to my depth, I only receive light damage. Going at 2 knots, silent running, zigzags, more depht, less depht...From the noon to the next day morning - 20 hours in game-, the destroyers stuck at me. TCx64. I canīt understand why the escorts, the four, are with me and leave the convoy alone (circa 20 kms. at the morning). I have high CO2, batteries: 48%. Save the game and reload (Maybe the known sticky destroyers bug?). The destroyers are the four here, and continue to be agressive (more depth charges without pings); I go to periscope depth; try a shot to an escort, torpedo missed, crash dive (they see my scope in a 9 mts. sea), they continue behind me, all the four......It seems a lost cat-mouse game, I play death is death.
After 24 hours of submerged navigation, very low batteries, high CO2, I need to surface and try a without hope surface combat versus four destroyers....
Never see this behaviour in TWoS. The escorts are agressive, yes. Are persistent, yes. But 24 hours behind me, without pinging, without lose contact with my boat; I never experimented it. I play cat and mouse for 5 or 6 hours, and they win or I escape from them, but 24 hours persecuting me at very short range?
Please, tell me this isnīt true....
Some thoughts?
Regards.
