help please, im in grid cg 41 off the coast of spain in september of 41 and ive been under attack in my IXB for over 8 hours by 2 destroyer escorts i think they have broken off from there convoy and been after me ever since ive been at 190 meters and none of there charges have been close to my depth but mostly right over top of me, i have been in silent running and changing course every little while but i just cant seem to shake them, and my stealth meter has been red just about the whole time, the attack started at 12:30 and it is now 18:30 can anyone help, i read the best evasive manuver thread but im not attacking a convoy just trying to get survive

if you got full HI%

go down to 250-260
better down there

and just because you're in silent running that doesnt mean they cant find you since silent running only stops all noisy activities
but you will still be able to get detected on sonar unless you go deep (doesnt work in late war)

im at full strenth acccept for the watch tower which is orange and the flack gun that is yellow

aight
dive your boat down there
go to around 210-260

don't forget that silent running is just taking the speed down to 3 kts. lower it to 1 kts. that used to help ME in -41.....but now when it's May -43 for me.....

The key to life is to live yeah so surviving is a huge factor in evasion. Um i just had patrol like urs, except i was north of Ireland. But anyways, i went below there Depth Charge line and i was riged or silent running but i shut off my engines, i was cruising at about 180m and about 45 minutes later the ship went away. be very quiet and hopefully you dont have any flooding or damage cause if your in silent running then your crew wouldnt repair anything.
