What destroyer makes you think well I am screwed?

To be frank its the Fubuki class destroyer those things are hard as heck to nail and don't give up easily.

The ones with the propellers...

They start pinging I start crash diving to 50 meters although when they aren't moving I start firing fish.

I really like using the Sam Dealey method, go straight at them (or away from them, fire 3 fish in rapid succession with a 2 degree or so spread between each from 500-800 yards. They try to turn away from the middle torpedo, but instead they present a broader target for one of the other two torps. It's hard to miss if you do it right. For best results always have your outer doors open before firing, the shots get off much quicker.

To answer the question, the ones who are inside 500 yards when I am above the layer.

Okay so what class do you dislike the most?

Bungo !$!@$ Pete. I'd rather face an allied destroyer in 1945 while in a Type II then encounter him. I've lost 5 subs to him and i'm not losing the sixth one.

Not just those, but also the one's actively pinging and bearing down on me.

I don't mess with destroyers or gun boats, that's asking for trouble - however I did find myself once in the middle of a heavily guarded convoy with troop ships and managed to take down a heavy cruiser

that WAS exciting but boy oh boy the escorts came flying from ALL directions

LEAVE ME ALONE YOU GUYS I'M ONLY TRYIN' TO DO MY JOB HERE
