While there is some debate as to wether or not they had the ability to do this in that era. It is not modeled within the game. |
Does depth degrade sonar performance at all? |
Not to my knowledge. i've been as deep as 240m and still have the buggers pinging away. Luckily at least in the arly war DC's don't reach that far down.
Patience, depth and silence are your friends when the escorts come knocking. I normally crash dive to around 100m then drift on silent down to about 160m. Frequent course changes are usually called for particularly when the DC's are falling.
In shallow water you may have to be a bit more active in running at flank to turn and evade your pursuers, but on the whole the same principles apply, stay as deep as you can get and run silent and don't try to fight it out unless you have a good shot a sinking the opposition. If I am taking a shot I normally do it only if there is only one or two pursuers and only when the target gets within 600m anything further away gives them too much time to see your eels and turn to avoid them
