I restarted patrol, and this time used magnetic and shallow as advised. fired 4 one missed 3 detonated

down she goes!

now, getting away from those DDs is another trick..hahah..
jesus, I am at almost 450ft , thats the max for this sub, and they still ping me(silent & 1/3)..hmm..I thought in 41s they couldnt ping bellow 300-350ft...back to reading i guess..

I was watching Silent Service doc on Youtube and an old bubblehead said that the japs linly used passive sonar? Not to doubt the old man, he went through a depth charging, but is this on oversight on the part of the game?

I had thought that the Japanese didn't get active sonar until Mid-War.

I'm not sure about Passive Sonar.

I'll need to do some research.

Looking at the files, yes, they are pretty reliable. Not completely, but the failure chance for the impact trigger is only 1% (when you have it at proper angle) and the maximum depth keeping error is only 3ft.

AFAIK the real mk 10s had pretty serious depth keeping and gyro problems at the start of the war, though their pistols were pretty good.
