Escaping Destroyers -39'

Spherical · 05-30-12, 02:55 AM

I'm having a fair bit of trouble. Kinda of new to the game, but am on my third patrol and have encountered destroyers, that I cant quite seem to escape.
Its easyer if I speak with pictures! (Using GWX 3.0)

I'm having a bit of trouble shaking this pack. I picked up a British destroyer on the way through Dover and slowly accrued the rest (Including some Frenchies and two more smoke stacks on the horizon) after running into a merchant fleet with a dreadnought(?) at the narrowest point. Unfortunately the story doesn't end there. Before all this, on the way past Portsmouth (I think) I got pinged by another destroyer (and a ASW trawler came to the party) I didn't get hit by any depth charges, so spent 20 minutes trying to escape them. Ended up giving up and just sat still in the shallow water. Both ships saved me by running into my conning tower, ripping their hulls open and sinking. Giving me the tonnage! But this cost me the use of the periscope and radio. I have been using silent running but not In these Pics

So my final question is how on earth to I escape them!
