Is there a mod that makes destroyers stop being retarded? Frankly, if real DD's were half as dumb I would've been the most famous U-boat captain ever. I've sunk scores of them by positioning myself near-perpendicular to their attack course then going ahead flank and turning hard into them when they close to about 400m. Immediately after they pass about 80m to stern I make a hard turn in the direction they turned and sink them with one torpedo (fast, 2m 10 degree lead fired at zero) when they come about. Barring dud torpedoes and the occasional target speed increase when the torp is spotted early this never fails against less than four DD's.

On that note, what is the damage radius for a depth charge of that vintage? Always thought it would be greater than 80m....
