After sinking the escort, I started shooting with my deck gun. Everything went well, but then...a small enemy S-1 submarine appeared. At first, I was able to identify the target, but then it submerged a bit, leaving the tower still visible, The watchmen didn`t see anything, even from close distance. I tried to hit it with deck gun, flak - no effect. Using UZO (to know the distance) or the attack periscope didn`t help me also.

Is there any method to sink a sub, which is obviously visible from the surface?

Sorry shipmate, I have trouble enough killing zig-zagging escorts....... Had to reply to say...........

Welcome aboard !!!

Best regards.
