I'm running Trigger Maru 1.2 and I think Ducimus made the DD's a lot smarter/more aggressive/difficult to evade. Even when I drop to 1-2 knots and max out my depth and try to slink away they always seem to find me and depth charge me repeatedly anyway.
I've discovered that even though my sonar man is nearly entirely deaf and doesn't tell me anything useful at all, if I listen through the hydrophones myself I
can in fact hear the 'splashes' of the depth charges hitting the water. (Actually a couple times I took a peek through the observation periscope and actually
saw the depth charges dropping next to me.
So I've taken to going to flank speed immediately as soon as I hear the splashes (if I'm lucky enough to be manning the hydrophones
and pointing them in the right direction at the right time, that is) and keeping it on for about 6-7 seconds, then dropping to 1/3 or all stop to drift along.
The DD's are
relentless though, and keep going straight over me with active sonar and dropping more depth charges, so I just keep repeating the same process and making 45 degree turns now and then... with any luck after 15-20 depth charge attempts they give up and go back to their convoy. Or more likely they get lucky and blow me to bits.
It's nerve-wracking, lemme tell ya.
