Now once I hear splash in water, I order ahead flank for about 45 seconds "speed burst", I hit the A key to level off, so my stern is not sticking up at the depth where the charges will be exploding. Most charge will explode above the sub, one may explode at your depth or little below, depends, it is a crap shoot. I may hang at 390 or so for while, then back up to 350, for a run, maybe even 325 to convince AI I am going shallow, rinse and repeat procedure . Also always have 5-10 degrees rudder on and alternate port and starboard, so am never on a constant heading. If stay on a constant heading, AI will figure it out and attack accordingly. Also, if youre not using, can try the depth charge disturbance mod I uploaded few weeks ago. This simulates the noises under water for each depth charge explosion, which in real life made their listening gear useless for a time until water settled back down. This provided a nice window for the submarine. I think its a little too effective in current version as made the AI too easy during evasion, espec in late war when they drop large patterns, I tested a modified version last patrol I just wrapped up and worked great so in coming days will release a second version.

this tactic is very important no matter what mod-set you are using.
changing course, depth, and speed is vital when evading the enemy.
