After many months of playing SH3, I've finally figured out how to use the decoys properly.

I was 12500 m ahead of a convoy. They approached as I sat underwater. I managed to fire 6 "fish" before the DD's located me. By this time one was nearly on top of me. (500 m) He approached slow and I could see him increase speed for the kill. I ordered "Ahead Flank," dove to 25 m, and as I went to Flank speed, I released a decoy. The DD stopped dead in her tracks. In fact, she backed up. Once I even got a DD to blow itself up with its own DC's in the "Med."

Boy these things come in handy.
