What escort do you hate most?

WilhelmSchulz. · 01-06-08, 01:21 AM

I was just wondering, what escort do you fear the most? Destroyers, DEs?

Me personaly I hate the DEs and Black Swan the most. So many depth charges.

Black swan's and armed trawlers. Trawlers always seem to spot/hear me.

Except for my last patrol, I snuck into Loch Ewe under heavy fog. I was running decks awash at low speed, when suddenly out of the fog, came an armed trawler and passed me at about 100m at the stern.......... and kept going. I couldn't believe my luck. Except when I finally reached the harbour, there was nothing worth sinking............ except the floating dock.

Nice tonnage in those babys.

Black Swan would be my least favourite, followed closely by DE's.

So far, in GWX 2.0 had only one encounter with escort. Bastard came in from behind. I didn't even know he was there till he started pinging from about 500 meters away.

River Class Frigate from a submerged POV is the most dangerous

Bet you wish they had towed arrays eh! Not nice to have something sneak up on you from in your baffles!

The one with hedgehogs that's closing on me right now is the one I hate most!

papa_smurf · 01-06-08, 09:48 AM

Definatley the Black Swan in GWX 1.03. As for GWX 2.0 I've had no encounters with any escort vessel (yet). I hope it stays that way, but I doubt it.

Nicolas · 01-06-08, 01:23 PM

The worst are those with side launchers i hate those, and later the hedgehog thing well.... And no matter the ships, its the crew, an elite escort no matter the ship not the same as with green crew.

Puster Bill · 01-06-08, 01:26 PM

The worst escort is the one that happens to be right above you.

What he said.

Black Swan. Hate 'em!

Jimbuna · 01-06-08, 04:53 PM

I voted Black Swan because of the shortage of choice, but as TJ quite rightly states.....fear whatever it is, if it is armed with the hedgehog

yamato9 · 01-06-08, 06:16 PM

I think that the worst bastard is that who sink you just when you get nice tonnage rating in one mission(two C2Cargo, one T3tanker and one small merchant).

Destroyer is worst i think(i don´t like to see them in my periscope), fully featured sub killer machine.:hmm:
