Diving deep to avoid DDs

mikesn9 · 08-08-18, 03:34 PM

spring of '42, Tambor class thermal at 190ft. (TMOwtw, no other mods)

I was trying to escape from a couple of very aggressive DDs. I had tried various methods of sneaking away, to no avail.
They'd find me, start pinging and run directly over me and drop charges. This went on a long time, I tried diving deeper.. made it down to 535ft ok, but they still found me ?????
I did notice the background noise in the boat (good job guys) but it seemed to be loud and staying on. And the DD's also stayed after me at 535 ft.

When diving deep do the surface ships hear the creaking? That would take trying to escape deep out of the mix. I came back up to about 350 and crept SLOWLY away .

Any thoughts here?
