Since I am using this mod, I post here:

I had an interesting encounter with a Akikaze destroyer.

10 of May, 1944, I was cruising at 2 knts for my obj (deploying troops to Formosa) at 150ft and detected the sound. We was going SW and closing all the time, decided to change course and attack him with my read tube.

He detected me and began search patterns. I decided to get him close and shoot.

Of course only one torpedo went strait to the target, hit the bow but noting. Or the distance was now very little for it to arm or I forgot to change to contact/influence.

Crash dive, change course and went to the depths. I did pass the thermal layer at 250 ft.

Some shaking but no damage, went to 400ft and decide to do a u turn. Now, the akikaze didn't detected me again. Did come closer 2 times, once pinging, but change the course almost above me and deploy the charges aft me.

To cut the story short, he only detected me again, after a few time, when I decided to return to course and got near him again, and he was stopped in the water, but the same thing. After the initial attack, he could not detected me again.

Again, I did pass the thermal layer and the see was 10m/s state, so this could also had to the situation, but the mod appears to be working.
