3. If you need to lunch a decoy make sure the DD is facing the oposite direction from you. Once you fire the decoy go ahead flank and try to go deeper (again if possible) while you're changing direction. After about 10-20 seconds go ahead slow and silent running again. That will confuse the DD and it will attack the decoy. By going ahead flank you position yourself away from him and if the DD was initially facing the oposite direction from you it will need a bit of time until he moves into position (all this buys you some time to get away).
To get away from a situation like this you need patience and A LOT of luck. Never fire decoys if the DDs haven't starting pinging you as you might give away your position. Also if the DDs do depth charge runs and they fire them close to you try to alter your depth regularly to confuse them.
Good Luck Rob (you're going to need it mate)

Thanks Mel. I know I'm going to need it (both ways). I had a severe pain in the chest and grabbed my nytro and went to bed immediately and had a 3-hour rest. I try the game tomorrow and try all the tactics mentioned thus far.
Thanks guys
Rob
