Bee Attack !!

McHub532 · 04-08-10, 08:22 PM

I just took down this battleship that was surrounded by 12 escorts.

I'm now at 175 meters, silent running with all 12 swarming over me. I've slipped 27 km's away from the sunken hulk of the battleship and they just won't leave me. My CO2 level is climbing above safe levels and I can't shake these Bass-Tirds. Argh!

Edit:
Gack... at 25% CO2 now.

I've got the men writting letters home and putting them in zip-lock bags right now.

Umm..

If you have any skill points left over, invest in that CO2 passive skill. Even if you don't, if the game holds true to Sh3/Sh4, your not dead tell it hits 99%.

Conserve your battery by traveling at 1 or 2 kts max, head for deeper water, and try surfacing at dark. If the planes are still there when you surface, risk it anyway, they might not spot you, and you really have no choice regardless. So surface, Delay the battery charge, man the flak gun (edit: DO NOT fire unless attacked), and head out of there at all possible speed to clear the area.

McHub532 · 04-08-10, 08:30 PM

Awesome Ducimus.. I'll do exactly that.

McHub532 · 04-08-10, 08:32 PM

6 of the escorts have broken off.
6 still taking turns dropping cans well above my position.

Now 50 km's from the original battleship attack.

Okay.. heading to the surface now for a gulp of fresh air.. it's dark outside (sucks it's so nice (weather) out though).. wish me luck.

Ducimus · 04-08-10, 08:37 PM

Are you talking 12 planes or 12 destroyers?

Im confused.

Onkel Neal · 04-08-10, 08:38 PM

You only have to surface for a minute to reduce your CO2 level!

McHub532 · 04-08-10, 08:38 PM

Destroyers

kylania · 04-08-10, 08:40 PM

Good luck down there!

McHub532 · 04-08-10, 08:40 PM

Crap... just pushed ESC to reload game.

I surfaced without pushing the CO2 (button).
I pushed 's' for surface.
I forgot about the old bug.

I got to the surface and the CO2 level did not clear and would not.. then I was swarmed.

Apache312 · 04-08-10, 08:41 PM

I assume you are running silent while trying to slip away...right? If all else fails, surface as long as you can, run at flank, while keeping your profile as small as possible, and prepare to dive. Perhaps you can get some air in the boat during the meantime.

Hope for a moonless night.

Ducimus · 04-08-10, 08:42 PM

>>Destroyers

Oh, well that changes EVERYTHING.

Variables in order to make up a proper plan of attack are:
- Time tell dark
- fog/rain conditions
- sea state
- battery remaining
- distance to and position of destroyers

McHub532 · 04-08-10, 08:43 PM

Awesome.. had a 'saved game' after the sinking of the battleship... will try this again; this time I'll push the CO2 button when I HAVE to come up for air.
