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!

I have noticed most Convoy Escorts are VERY poor if they even try and search at all. Most of the time they STOP with the convoy (or slow down to 2 kts). Only a FEW times (like 3 or so) have they ever come after me.
Now escorts with BATTLE groups.... they are DEADLY! Almost always find me and nuke me out of the water.
