Avoidance

Ahoy!
So, I understand that one way of trying to escape the dreaded escorts is to exploit their `wasserbomb` . Just clarify how/ when to do this :- do I wait for the charge to detonate before executing a manoeuvre or when my soundman tells me that a `wasserbomb` has been launched?

As soon as they drop, and your sonarman says it, hit your RPMS and maneuver! Keep up speed until the explosion ends!

I bought the game off Steam about a week ago and am in February 1940. The big disappointment with the game so far is I am always the cat and never the mouse. SH III did this so well.

I’ve yet to be attacked by a destroyer. I’m hoping that this is some cartoony way of putting across ‘happy times’. Do they get any better? Do aircraft become more aggressive? I’ve learned to just let them fly over. I’m getting into bad habits! In SH III I’d be down the hatch at the first sniff of an aircraft. If they didn’t attack you they’d certainly alert the authorities.
