Stupid STUPID game

[ddiplock]

I have just spent the last 40 minutes playing dodge with a destroyer before giving up. Its march 1943 and i'm down near Freetown.

Main problem: getting away from the destroyer wouldn't be seen as the problem.......its keeping my boat level at the effing depth ordered. The boat is in tip top shape, and i'm not modelling malfucntions and sabotage via SH3 Cmdr so there is no reason why the boat shouldn't keep its depth when i order it to.

In short, i coudn't escape from the bastard because i had to keep increasing my engins speed to rise the boat or to maintain depth, thus giving away my position. the boat ended up sinking to 272mtrs before the hull collapsed and the boat was crushed. Also....the destroyer wasn't even pinging for me....he just seemed to KNOW where i was. yeah...without using asdic and if i'm making along at 1 or 2 knots.....thats realistic.....NOT :@

I'm not accepting that however. i'm reloading the game to before i encountered the destroyer, and i'm going to get my boat home. This is not the first time this has happend during a game. Seems odd that the boat stays level when there are NO enemy ships around, and yet when you have destroyerts buzzing around, it suddenly can't hold its depth?? WTF is up with that??

sorry for the rant, but has anyone else encountered this? It HAS to be a bug surely?
