Root cause of last DID death

[Otto Heinzmeir]

I chalk up my last DID to AI. Getting used to a new mod that is less forgiving than ones I played previously. I did what I had done before in game, only instead of 2 lousy escorts that are often clueless. Six additional DD's were called in from surrounding ports or patrols and they were much more accurate than I have seen in early war.

I don't mind though because I want my game experience to be a little more realistic in that there are certain places that should be avoided as they were in real life. So one of my new not to do's in my current mod is don't follow convoy's into channels West and South of Britain where they can be quickly call in escort support. Looking at the patrols on uboat.com, they show locations of u-boats at certain times during their patrols. Looking at the locations, it would appear that these channels were not hunted often. It was safer to attack the convoys out in open sea.
