near Honshu, i was chased by a warship (cant remember the class, will take notes next time). The sea was pretty rough and he was not having great success at locating me. I try to get a good shot at him but all my torpedoes miss. His movement were erratic. Should i not bother trying to get him at all ? What would have been a god firing position in that case ?

Well, if it was a destroyer or escort vessel of some type you will have a difficult time getting a firing solution if it is aware of your presence, due to their high rate of speed and maneuverability. The best time to sink a warship is when it doesn't know you are stalking it. It can be done when they are chasing you, but it is more difficult.
If it was just a lone escort vessel or destroyer patrol, I would just have dodged it. Too fast and not much tonnage. Last edited by Torplexed; 04-18-15 at 06:53 AM. |

I'll do that next time, he was aware . I lose a lot of torpedo for nothing. Also i think i did a pretty stupid thing. Forgot my periscope was up, surfaced and a do a rapid dive a few minute later.

Not sure if the warship had time for that. How can i tell, i didnt hear a shot. Just my crew saying that we had heavy flooding and that the periscope was damaged. I have so much to learn from that game. I'm playing it for a few days and i feel soooo

Stay away from fighting it out with warships. If he was having trouble locating you that was a good thing and you should take advantage of that by going quiet and deep, past the thermal layer if you have the diving room. It would have given up searching for you eventually.

Experience skippers usually avoid escorts, unless circumstances are greatly in their favor, or they can't avoid it. The best way to gain experience, and skills, is to attack isolated, vulnerable merchants, where the risks are much less. |
