Killing Destroyers !!!

[Captain_AJ]

After many patrols I have seen how destroyers React too your presence .

I think that it is important too have your batterys charged to full when engaging a destroyer . Also It is very important to have your sonor man call out the contact , sometimes he gets lazy and quits . so thats a good time to get him back on track . Usaully when A des has made a dept charge run , he goes at least 45 degrees from your bow postion . And thats when its important not to change your heading . I have seen many turn left and swing around with a angle on the bow of 145 . at that time its a good time to chart while using a periscope depth .

Time is on your side , using the TDC chart and listinnig to the report ill adjust slightly and make small corrections . When the contatc is about 500 meters from your bow . Ill take the shot . Bingo sometimes it misses . when a des is on a attack and pinging Ill relese decoys , This throws them off and whil your sailing on the same heading you will see him off on a father direction . when that is true line up shot . BOOM DEAD des ,

Dont be afraid of the des , when In shallow waters . 25 meters works well , because the des sets his charges to a lower depth but those will explode hitting the bottom . . Its a cat and mouse game but you will control the situation if you stay cool . 11 des dead after the 8th patrol . NOT Scared , But Inconvinced . I had killed 3 destoyers in one sortie and had the convoy all to myself . I sank a tanker and a cargo ship on that patrol ,, BONSAI !!!
