Saved by shallow water

I am playing TMO and RSRDC. The water was slightly choppy. Unfortunately the BB was hit twice but kept going making pretty good speed but was listing. That's probably why the destroyers didn't stay around for too long.

I always keep two cuties in my stern tubes and two spare. I know some captains don't like them but they saved me more then once. When you have two or three DD's on you and you get that one that stops and listens only to get hit by one of them then thats one less you have to deal with.

This is the first time that I used this tactic. Like many others I try not to spend much time in areas where the waters not deep. This is also the first time being in shallow water that I came upon a TF.

I think one of the reasons why this worked was that I just shut down and slowly drifted down to the bottom instead of driving down into it.
