Default Evasion question......

Do they ever get bored and leave?

Was able to place myself in front of decent sized, 2 coloumn convoy. Single DD on each side.

While drifting in the lead DD made me, so I sank him. I then blitzed the convoy, hitting and sinking an Ore carrier, and disabling two more ships (the second one only after he stopped from almost hitting the first).

After knife fighting with the DD's for a few minutes, I snuck under one of the disabled ships, where the DD's couldn't get to me.



I Continued to sit there for a long time, until the convoy and 2 of the DD's left. But the 3rd guy was madder than a hornet and kept circling, making attack runs, then breaking off.



So i parallel parked next to the merchant, and waited for his next pass.




Apparently 238m is not too close for a type II, but I wont be trying it on a regular basis.




So here's my dilema:

I waited quite a while before killing the DD, but one of his buddies came rushing back. And I had to do it all over again.

But Now I'm out of eels, and #4 has shown up. I've tried evading by sneaking away before he got there, but no luck, he found me. So I'm currently working my way back to the disables, and planning on using my deck gun while using the merchants as a shield.

Can I camp under the boat and will the last DD have to rejoin his now defenseless convoy? Or should I attempt more evasion manuevers? I plan on returning to this spot to sink these with my deck gun.

And aside from low RPM's and slow serpentines.... is there anything else i can try? I've been sprinting through the DC'ing too.




Side note though, there's now a pile, literally, of 3 destroyers on the ocean floor in 80m water. Sounds like an awesome wreck dive!!
