Hi Dan, here's a trick you could try...

Go to PD, and have at least 400m between you and the DD (more is better of course). Have a magnetic eel in the aft tube(s), set for this particular DD. Start running at flank away from the DD. He will follow you and use some gunnery. When he's straight behind you, and more than 300m away, fire your fish! Don't make any manoeuvres before the torpedo has a chance to impact - if you turn, the DD will turn as well possibly foiling the shot.

If the shot misses, crash dive and turn hard. Eventually go to 1 knots and silent running - back to the evading game again.

This is risky, but the stern "down the throat shot" has worked for me a few times.

Kind regards and good luck,
