The planes or the destroyers?

The destroyers

[A Hidden Soul]

Any that use active sonar.

When I played Destroyer Commander, multiplier, I sucked at dropping depth charges, but I could get a good fix on the sub, I zigged and zagged like a drunk sailor then rammed the bloody U-boat at periscope depth after he fired a bunch of torpedoes at me, heh! All except one lucky depth-charging kill were rammings!
Only one sub ever killed me, it was the head-hunter named Grey Wolf....

In SH2 as a sub, I felt bad killing a DD player. But in SH4, I find, I'll spend 4 torps spread on a charging DD and usually kill him, but it's a waste when going after tonnage. Those DD's are doing their job.

Don't worry about what, worry about who.

Makes sense to me.

Everyone hated him, but as a Destroyer, he never sunk me.

Not that hard to take out Destroyers for me, especially ones doing harbor patrol. I simply get slooooooooooooowly into position, and when he comes plodding slowly by I put a torpedo under his "stack" and down he goes...

As a Destroyer I would "right full rudder" "Port engine full" (Starboard stop.)
Or visaversa.

Having just picked up SH4 about a week ago, I haven't encountered too many DD's yet, so I don't have one that scares me.

What does scare me, however, are H6Ks, flying boats have become the bane of my existence. I've only died to two of them, second one caught me completely off-guard in a storm and wasn't spotted until he was about 2nm's away (I was in an S-boat, so there was no avoiding that beating).

First one is the most ridiculous death I have ever experienced playing any SH title. My first career, first patrol, heading out of Manila in command of the S-38. I was maybe 10nm out of the harbor when my watch crew calls out that they've spotted an aircraft. I'm in friendly waters, so I assumed it was friendly (I did not know at this time that the game only does the popup for hostile contacts) and went on my merry way. I was terribly surprised when a few hundred kilos worth of explosives smashed my little boat to pieces. I guess that's what I get for clicking the 'Campaign' button before reading..well, anything actually.
