yeah, I have been able to stay alive through 5 patrols, however I turned tail a couple of times when I heard DD's escorting some targets. I just couldn't put myself and my crew in a position where we were sure to get killed. Only 20 to 60 Meters of water under me seemed like a sure way to die.

I'm just not fast enough to tangle with those destroyers yet.
When I did the single missions training scenarios I was just cannon fodder for the DD's ..

I have just read a past link on using the hydrophone and it was explaned a little different, but it made since so I'll give a-go & see how I do.

so far I am only making a visual with the target about 1 out of 5 times...
I have around 8-9 sinking out of 5 patrols so I'm going to be satisfied with that & just try to slow down & be more patient...

ha ha I do know that that big ol C3 popping out of the night seas actually startled the heck out of me ...lol..for real..

I had two torps set for 5 meters & I quickly set the third for 11m which I used as soon as I got ahead & almost head on...It blew about just behind the stack & the ship broke into several pieces & just settled down on the bottom.. All of the high parts of the ship were out of the water & burning...

I guess this Sub sim is going to be hours of nothingness, then along comes brief moments of rapid action and a hasty departure....

I have so dang much to learn..I don't even know all of what I need to learn..lol..
