Destroyer evasion

Einzelganger · 09-09-09, 12:20 PM

In real life it wouldn't work, visibilty is just too crap for it.

If you would see a destroyer that way in the Atlantic in real life it would have to be right on top of you. Which means you can probably grab your ass & kiss it goodbye since you'd be

I use GWX, and the water is way to dark where I am, which is as deep as I can get. I wait until I hear them overhead, then run and duck and twist and turn, then go silent again. Much better than being so close I can see the buggers.

Yeah I only use the OP if I'm real shallow or I get caught offguard and can't get deep in time. I use GWX too and you're right, it's too dark to see deep, that's when I rely on my surround sound from within the zentrale and cower under the map table.

No use cowering under the map table, might as well get comfy on your captains bunk, that way you can look at the hydrophone operator getting all panicky

I don't use obs,i just end up runing real deep if i can,on the crush limit @ silent and wait for the wasserbommen call then go flank change course at flank for a few minutes,then back to silent. Given up harbour raiding,been caught out in the shallows and been sunki many times in the process

so now I stick to the deep oceans

KeptinCranky is right.

I am not so sure about this - real-life like. If you are at periscope depth (whether you use it or not) are you not safer than if a little deeper...?.. While the game sets d/c explosion depth real shallow (and often damages the dropper itself) I am not sure if that was done real-life for fear of own damage. The side-throwers would not be a problem (or the hedgehogs) but those dropped from the rear might. I suppose that is why they speed up before dropping. Anybody know the rules for Allied minimum depth setting on the D/C's....?
