Impossible. I just cannot evade destroyers...

The true way of evading depth charges is to avoid them all together and not be in that situation.

Hence my extensive use of BOLD just after I have attacked and the first eel hits. I then either slip away unnoticed really deep at 1kts making sure the BOLD is between my stern and the convoy and escorts, or, if it is a dark night and they have not spotted me, I go flank speed in the opposite direction surfaced, but also after launching BOLD.

Best,

Ashi.
