Pray is what I thought too. I headed south for another end-around. I was met by two friendly subchasers and forced down. I've sunk three of them and still can't get to to convoy for a second attack! My score so far is three subchasers and a nice tanker for 10,000+ tons. These two are plenty good. If I can get 1500 yards away from one I'll shoot a cutie his way. But they're both all over me.
Silent running at 1 knot at night with rough seas (I have to run 55' to see anything through the periscope) under a thermal layer and I can't shake 'em. Sonar conditions should be garbage but these guys have X-ray vision.
There's no problem running out from under (just remember the damn side throwers!) when they drop. Sitting at three hundred feet with a 41% damaged hull (from an earlier incident before I encountered the convoy) and daring them to make a mistake. I'll do my best to ensure it is their last.
