I tried the 1.3 just today with a test mission of mine. As I approached
within 6000, 2 DDs started straight for me. I dove to 300, went silent at
1/3 and zig-zaged my way towards the 3 targets. The DDs went by me and
started search patterns. I waited till I was fairly close to target 3, a battleship.
I came up to PD and give a look. It was doing the zig-zag dance but I closed with 900 and fired 4 fish. All hit and the BB went down fast. Within 2 min, 5 DDs
were all converging on me fast. I did my 300 thing again and headed for a
seaplane carrier. The DDs were good at blasting gaping holes in the sea but
none hit home. I managed to elude them and came up to PD for a shot at
the SC. Sent 2 fish her way at 750 but 1 was all that was needed. I went
deep again and hid under the lifeboats but since 1.3, they are not safe now.
The DDs came right into the middle of them and dropped DCs. All drops were
too shallow so I came out OK. Looks like a different ballgame with 1.3 guys....
