Beside my Toro class multi encounters that i don’t explain, and the sampans i don’t see anymore, i think you get a good warship behavior this time
Ran into a task force, managed to be in good firing position, but at the last instant they detected me unfortunately...
Had time to launch 4 torp to a battleship before diving deep and start escaping.
In the hurry, only 1 hitted at the extreme bow of battleship, and he just slowed down without that much flooding...
A bunch of DDs depth charged me for some time, and i thought it was my end but they finally lost me as i passed below the main forces and changed radically my heading.
Only thing, i never heard any ping...
Second time, they almost got me in the Singapore straight where i was very lucky because no depth to escape.
Singapore just surrender when i was there, and i had a task force after me, plus a bunch of planes staffing my periscope as soon as i tried to see something...
Hopefully the night was coming and managed to maintain good distance to the damn of my batteries.
Reached close to the coast to take some breath, but was fired by coastal defense non figuring on map
Of course they gave my position to the task force (was too dark for planes) and had to escape again full battery speed...
Heading back to Surabaya before the Jap arrival
Man, task forces are fun now. They are dangerous but not unplayable
ÉDIT:
You know what?...on my way back to Surabaya, i met again a Toro class escorting same merchant as before!!
Humm... my install was made to the letter like your recommendations...can’t believe it.
