Depth charge count

DanCanovas · 09-12-06, 05:14 AM

im getting hammered here so ive decided to bottom the boat at 120m and sit tight and hope he cant find me on Asdic..my problem is that ive taken no some water so i need to do 4 knots just to change depth, therefore when he pings me he can hear me easier. im hoping to sit on the bottom and he cant hear me.

any help would be much appreciated

right the good news is he just keeps moving over me now. no depth charges are coming. now im in no better position lol. i might slowly come to about 30 m and when he goes over blow ballast and see if i can escape.

Do you have any torpedoes left?

I would slowly go to periscope-depth, and blow him to pieces.

yeh ive got some left. im thinking about doing that because i cant stay down here forever as much as the tommy wants me to. if i bottom the boat out again surely if he decides he cant hear me he might move on? has anyone experienced this?

hmm he seems to still have depth charges, by the time ive come to PD, hes on his next run again. VERDAMT!

Hi Dan, here's a trick you could try...

Go to PD, and have at least 400m between you and the DD (more is better of course). Have a magnetic eel in the aft tube(s), set for this particular DD. Start running at flank away from the DD. He will follow you and use some gunnery. When he's straight behind you, and more than 300m away, fire your fish! Don't make any manoeuvres before the torpedo has a chance to impact - if you turn, the DD will turn as well possibly foiling the shot.

If the shot misses, crash dive and turn hard. Eventually go to 1 knots and silent running - back to the evading game again.

This is risky, but the stern "down the throat shot" has worked for me a few times.

Kind regards and good luck,

Eichenlaub
