Clever Escorts

Hi all,

I've been sailing these forums for a few months ( without posting ) and playing SHIII for less. I'm on my 23 patrol ( 50% realism ) now and have been constantly peppered with depth charges by convoy escorts. The thing I can't understand is these damn escorts dropping their load on me at exactly the depth I am at, whether I go shallow or deep. So far I have been able to survive through manovering ( only just and taking a lot of damage).
I was sure that during WWII the ASDIC could only pick out the direction and distance of the sub. ( Right or wrong, I'm not sure )
I'm interested to know if anyone else met these damn fine sailors on tehse escorts or have they all congregated inside my PC. :hmm: I know I'm not a great boat driver, but damn it's frustrating.
