Default Cat and mouse game

I just sunk a River Escort Destroyer in from of a C Class Destroyer and the C Class is playing cat and mouse, coming in and then moving out and I have tried 5 times to put G7es 4 metres magnet into her.

What would you do to make her come at me close enough to hit her. She got as close as 800 metres and then turned away showing her 6th.

Would she be using one of thos Foxer units as well?

What does the foxer do anyway???

Oh, since her draft is 3.5 metres, I have been setting my torpedo depth at 4 m magnetic.

I've been looking into this Rob, I'm not sure that Foxer is actually active in GWX.

Here's a wiki explaining what Foxer is - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxer

What might be happening is that the DD is too quiet for the accoustic to home in on. Can you go deep enough to lose him?

My hull integrity is only 89%. How deep can I go?

You should be able to make at least 100m but go carefully.

Well, I'll give it one more try and if it doesn't work, then I will dive to 100 metres and make a port turn away from it and try to get away.

Thanks for the infor guys.
