Ive read the book, the movie looks half watchable. Are there much at sea uboat scenes?? I know Kate Winslet is in it, i'd nearly watch it just for that.

The idea behind a hedgehog was that she was firstly forward firing which was a new and needed thing and also since the charges were impact only they made it so that the escort wouldn't lose contact unless there was a hit. The last thing was that usually one hedgehog hit was enough to make a boat go down. Thats a powerful point blank hit on the pressure hull.
Not sure myself as to its effectiveness as I have never been attacked by one. |

 Only about 15-20min of uboats and all you see is them moving along the ocean no crash diving/depth charging hair pulling suspense. More a drama about the code breakers, okay story if you accept their be little action. |

Remember kids, depth is your friend. The deeper you are, the harder it is to hit you.
As far as turning when you are under attack, I dont do this because it slows your boat down. Once the DCs or hedges have left their ship, they do not adjust so you want to get as far away as possible. You can only do this with depth (longer time till contact) and speed (cant hit you if youre not there). Dont hit full ahead until AFTER the first DC explosion. The sound will mask your noisy props for a minute or so. And if you get hit by a hedgehog, you need to be plugging the leaks. If there are DDs on the hunt, only the dead stay shallow.
