SS, I have used the tools and keep reducing those and testing them but still am getting sunk.
No, I did not mean turning and increasing speed was not done, mostly. but, I have read many times where they go very deep and either remain still or move at 1Knot and that the variation of the explosions varied from close to far away. Mine are always on top of me.
I have always used 3 rated crews throughout all warships (with BBSm cruisers and trawlers all 4). I recently redid the RND to all 2 rated escorts but greatly increased the number to 8-12 on 1943 on convoys hoping the 2 rating would be less accurate on snipe drops. I was wrong. I don't really see much difference.

BTW, You never did say in the CFG folder which files were for player and which for AI regarding sim and sensor text files. I would like to try different settings for those

From Iron Coffins page 230 (excerpts)(DD was almost on top of them after they had fired at a convoy, observed three hits but dod not make a confirmed kill for this attack)

"Emergency! Dive to 150
-We braced for impact. U-415 fell away clawing for depth, her screws churning violently.- The spread from above exploded just short of the conning tower. Six times in quick succession the boat was beaten and savagely shaken. - Then a fresh series slammed against the hull, driving the boat further into the depths. The Chief leveled her off seconds before she would have rammed into the sand. This noisy maneuver brought down a new salvo. We heard the canisters splash into the water and as they floated down we had little chance to escape them. A dozen detonations-a shattering roar. Somewhere a valve blew and a fountain of water, thick as an arm, spurted across the aisle. The escorts above us-we heard them with the naked ear-assembled for the kill. A third barrage bracketed our trembling boat. Then the devilish grinding of propellers heralded another spread.
Though the sun sank into the ocean and night covered the attackers, they still hurled their cans and the concussions kept crashing our boat into the sandy bottom and blowing her off again in repetitious sequence. By 0600 the next morning we had taken 18 hours of constant beating--- At noon the attacks had not lessened. The British attackers quite obviously took turns; we heard new escorts arrive and take over the chase with a fresh supply. Evening came and the bombardment continued with savage strength-------------- Midnight came once again. The British had pounded us for over 37 hours, dropping more than 300 charges and were still unwilling to halt the pursuit. At 2:15, however."

On and on. The Tommies left and the boat made it home and I might add this U-415 was an obsolete patched up wreck of a boat without a snorkel when the mission started.

Boats were sunk seep but real boats had a better chance than we do and that is my complaint. We should find a way to have 15-20 escorts in a convoy without a certain death sentence no matter what.
