The matter is if you are using time compression, many times we are pressing and presing the key to maintain the time compression so quiclky.
In this situation, in very heavy fog, when your crew spot the enemy, it may be at 600m or nearest, if you press another time or many more times the key to maintain time compression.... you are done.
Even when you react at the first alert or reduction, if the enemy is too near as in example 500 meters, you need near to 40 seconds to dive. With an enemy sailing at 30 or more knots, the enmy can ram you before you can reach a safe depth, even when you can dive under 10 meters and be safe the enemy can not ram your conning tower, you will be depth charged sure...
The best way is as mentioned above by Sober, you need to submerge often, frecuently, and be sure the sea around you is free of enemies almost in the hydrophone range. |
I can understand that, that if discovered, the range is too short to be able to evade effectively. My beef, is the encounter in the first place. The odds of simply "chancing" upon such an encounter, in blinding rain, 40-foot swells, should be just about astronomical. Three times now?
