They spot me but even if do not spot me such as in low visibility, they heard me dive because I am too close when submerged (boats are noisy when dive and surface)

Exception being when off Okinawa a patrol plane, not seen when periscope was up, only when went to external view to check behavior or enemy vessel did I hear, then spot the PETE above. PETE was unarmed, but the DD turned toward me at high speed, came in pinging, dropping charges. Before PETE was above, DD was sailing along st 4500 yards, unaware of my presence.


Would mind posting your mod list?

I'm back, couldn't stay away. Well on the Nautilus I see no way of seeing if I am at 100 rpm. The gauges show 150rpm no matter what speed. Even silent running at 1 knot shows 150rpm. Not like the S-Boat which I can watch the dial reduce to 100rpm. Just a noisy boat no matter what speed.

I always seem to run into these PITA DDs mid ocean. I'll just have to avoid the bastards.

I gave up on night surface attacks on DD's. I can never get close enough to fire before they spot me.

No strange mods. Just the ones included in the mod itself.





This is at All Stop. So I'm just guessing at RPMs.
