Getting Bounced by Enemy Aircraft

LesBaker · 08-20-14, 05:39 PM

Hi Sub simmers, I'm quite new to the world of sub Sims and after looking around plumped for SH5, which has really given me the bug (can't get enough !!) especially when modded with Wolves of Steel, the real navigation by TDW and the automation by trevally are outstanding.

Played through the first scenario from Memel no problems, however with the East Coast scenario I'm having great difficulties with enemy Aircraft attacking my sub.

The problem is that as soon as I'm alerted that an aircraft has been sighted, I hit the teleport to the Attack periscope and the icon on the left to dive the sub to periscope depth, but in veritably I get hit before the sub dives, it doesn't seem to matter that the aircraft are spotted at long, medium or short range.

It also does not seem to matter at which game speed I'm using when the aircraft are spotted even when it is set to TC1 the sub just does not seem to have enough time to dive to safety.

Is there a quicker way to get the sub to dive? or is there some other thing I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Les
