Me and my big mouth!

I ran across the carrier battle group from hell last night. So I get the surface ship spotted message and go up to have a look to find in horror that there are 3 destroyers about 2000 m off the starboard bow. I hit dive then do some deckgun action waiting for the sub to go down and get a lucky shot and it breaks the middle DD in half (my first halfie!!). I save....cause why not.

Then it seems the other 2 cant see me. more disappointment.

Well, it seems these 3 were the vanguard to a carrier battle group. From that point on, no matter how I tried to escape (and the CBG was BVR mind you), an aircraft would always spot me then 3 DD's would show up from over the horizon and smoke me. These guys had sonar and used it vigourously, they dropped depth charges, they took turns. They ran a train on me.

REAL AI! Carrier airpower! Airdropped depth charges! The beauty of it all! Bravo! Bravo! I feel like I'm actually in the war now!
