OMG I'm such an idiot.... I've been baffled as to why escorts won't attack me . They just circle about 15km away and there is no risk of them attacking me. I had this mod it didn't help.

I just realised the mod is in a folder with the same name. I just had the file structure wrong. So I added it properly and loaded my saved game which was saved with a sub hunter group circling near me that won't attack... where I gave up playing last time due to this bug...

So this time they did attack me. Boy did they give me a workout. I was starting to wonder if the number of depth charges the escorts carry was counted and would they eventually run out of wasserbombes?

It was great! I loved it. I haven't modified the behaviour of the boat at depth so she slowly sinks with negative buoyancy. I was using the manual dive planes to counter the sinking. 3 knots would slowly raise my depth and 1 knot would slowly sink. It was very tense and I lost 20points of pressure hull due to escort attacks. Eventually I stayed out of their hydrophone range for long enough and deep enough for them to break off . I was exhausted. At this moment I spared though for the relief the real uboat crews must have felt listening to the escorts steaming away, after they had finished all their depth charges. whew.

Great mod thanks TDW!
