Your greatest escape from a Destroyer

Ancient Mariner · 12-27-12, 03:48 AM

I have a few from back in the day....jeez I sound old

Attacked a convoy escorted by a bb,managed to sink her(after my escape and with 1 good tube),a few of the merchies and at least 1 absolute lucky kill fired by listening in on the hydrophone. Was rammed a perisocpe depth knocking out my eyes,lost 3 fwd tubes eventually lost 4th fwd,some good crew were seriously wounded. Managed to blind fire and sink that destroyer. After a bit of evasion I skulked off and started my attack again,I needed to get that Battleship.....She was sunk using the rear tube on the surface(night,crap weather)luckily she went down on that eel too....dont think a type 7 crash dives faster than a shell....

Is it alright to post events from SH5 here? Because I've got one involving me, 20 destroyers, fog and Reykjavik.

I would think so...if you are using the AI mod.

I would think no. Start a thread there if you want. On the other hand it's a matter of choice for the other posters in this thread, and I've been wrong before.

i would have to say when i hit a task force with probly 10 DDs and several battleships. well i sank 3 of the battleships and had the DDs left all 10 bearing down on me i launced my acustic torpedos hit 4 hit the DDs leaving me with 6 and i dove and turned straight towards them and hit silent running the over shot me by about 1000 meters. i then ordered an all stop and just sat there sinking slowly. never figured out why their pinging never found me. didn't think the albriecht was that good.

IIRC it quietens your noise signature by about 20%
