First, don't take any sh*t from Elco's. You can drop that little wasp with a few rounds of the deck gun and/or flak guns. Second, Elco's don't have hydrophones. If you dive, and there's just an Elco around, go flank towards deep water. Go for a bit. Periodically check with the scope - see if there's a destroyer coming (but locate him with the hydrophone first!). If there is, and he's < 3km, go silent and you'll be fine provided they don't make another visual sighting of your periscope. Remember - it's distance from you enemy that matters - you can go deep, or get further away laterally. I usually stay at PD and keep the vision advantage, but go for distance.

Using this techique, I can be spotted by a warship at a long distance (~8km), and by the time he gets to where he last saw me, I'm somewhere else and he has _no_ chance of finding me. Remember that he'll approach you at flank turns, and will be deaf right up until he arrives. BE BOLD. HAVE COURAGE. STAY AT PD AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.

Treat the Elco with respect

They quckly call up support and their guns soon make a mess of your watch crew

I have had an exhausterpating day in the 'real' world so won't try and put all your good advice to work tonight - but I would like to query summat. Brag says 'stay away from shallow water' - and I think that is good advice - but I was there because that was where some of you suggested I go to catch some merchant men as they travel the shipping routes. Harwich to Southend was where I was snooping, and not THAT close to the shore, but wherever I went it seemed shallow. So am I to stay only in the big ( and not so populated ) deep ocean then?

anyways, thanks for the tips, will put them to use

yawn.. wheres me 'ammock...

Might not be a bad idea, at least until you are very, very good.
