Ok so I attack a convoy last night, all went very well. However after I fire my torps I dive to 160 meters. DDs come and start pinging me, so I dive more... and more... and more... Eventually I'm well in the red and still I'm being detected! I was in silent running mode and doing 1 knot. Also this is beginning of the war, 2nd patrol. How could they detect me that deep at one knot at the beginning of the war? My understanding is that their sonar isnt effective that deep during this time period, and it would be hard to hear me at 1 knot at silent running. Nevertheless they knew where I was and I was getting DC'd for a half hour. I did get away fortunately, but it took a long time. Is this the norm? I dont remember having any problem at all getting away at that depth in the past.... Suggestions? Ideas? Thanks guys
