Well, shucks. I guess that's the end of that career. Unless I do something drastic. :hmm:

Although I could always go back and reload from a further save and sink that first destroyer, something I should have done in the first place but was reluctant to use up even more torps. I had already used a few to sink destroyers while they were hunting me, and I had used three on a large merchant before I realized I should just be using my deck gun.

All in all, it's a learning experience, ey? I sort of want to let my careers play out without reloading, but I might just go ahead and reload just to see what would have happened.

I'm playing GWX by the way. I think I mentioned that at the end of my first post. Excellent mod from what I can tell, though I never bothered to play stock SH3 as I had heard so many good reports about GWX. The whole game feels very real and immersing.

And I'll take this opportunity to extend my thanks to the GWX team for putting so much time into a community mod like this. Great work!

Thanks for your responses, I know hold a new respect for destroyers....

Edit: In response to Von Zelda,

I have tried slipping away at 1 knot. But it seems nearly impossible because they always seem to ping me and find my position. I'm sure it is definitely possible, but that first destroyer never failed to find me, no matter what I did. He almost always made a perfect run over my position. As the number of destroyers grew, my chances of escaping rapidly fell. I should probably search around the forum for more tips on how to escape destroyers. I've read a few, but I'm still quite newbish.
