Heh... I was patrolling the AM53 grid area (north of Ireland) in the worst storm imaginable. See the TC jump down to 8x with the stealth meter go to red (yes, I still use that...); jump to the tower to see if I can see what's up (down to 1x, of course); at first I see nothing; then, from astern, I see this searchlight...CRAP!!
PD dive; the warship doesn't shoot me too much, but as soon as I dive, I start getting all sorts of hydrophone contacts (20+ merchants)... it seems, in the middle of the worst storm possible (<300m visbility) I manage to not only have a convoy stumble across me, but the escort from it as well.
I shot all four fish in the tubes blind in the general direction of the convoy (no time to even try to set up a target with that warship almost literally on my a$$); dive deep(ish), go to silent running... he didn't get me, but neither did I get any of the merchies as well, so I'd call that a minor victory for him.
