Be aware though that if there are two of them, one can listen while the other pings. If they're depth charging you, you'll hear a splash when it hits the water, then the explosion when it goes off. If they're right on you, you'll also hear their propellers churning through the water.

This part is almost as exciting as watching a target blow to smithereens.... almost.

This game scares me Was just at 200ft (below the thermal layer) and could here the enemy ships propellers through my hydrophone, then realized I didn't need it as I could hear them through the hull What heightened the tension was that I was then pinged... bear in mind this was my first enemy contact so I pretty much crapped myself. Thought I'd snatch a quick view through the periscope and a glance at the surface confirmed my worst fears... I could see a boat going right above me and the sound of DC's dropping in.

Luckily I wasn't blown apart and didn't suffer any damage, was a frightening experience all the same though which left me not wanting to play the game for 5 mins (only 5 mins though )

Currently im at periscope depth with a destroyer quite close by, the 3 tankers in the distance and another destroyer heading roughly in my direction. Strange thing was that I fired 3 torps at the close destroyer, yet they angled of in completely the opposite direction when fired?
