They weren't very competent, that's for sure. I fired my first salvo from within the destroyer screen, and immediately started drifting downwards at silent speed. When the first destroyer got near me, I was at less than 30 meters depth, and the destroyer didn't even attempt dropping any depth charges. During the whole escape, I didn't hear a single depth charge being dropped, or a single asdic ping.

Of course, the weather was bad for listening, with 15 m/s wind, and I was as silent as possible. They just didn't hear me at any point, so they searched the area I had fired from for 30 minutes and then gave up. I used the free camera to watch what they were doing, and noticed that at least one of them was stationary at all time, listening, while the others were moving around the area. Had I tried to use more speed to get deeper fast, things might have turned out a lot worse for me.

Heh, I'd say your answer lies in the crew expierence. It is possible that they assumed you to be dead when you submerged and pulled off OR they panicked and ran off.:rotfl: Again, their skill level makes a huge difference.

Destroyer Captain: "Well, there was a submarine here, since we saw torpedoes and the Nelson was hit two times. But we can't hear a thing, so it probably just sank on its own, even without any help from our depth charges. Ok boys, case closed, let's head on with our mission."

But this is a whole different story

Like my last patrol, DDs left the carrier alone and one by one came to a meeting with my eels... they should flank out of here...

Bigger question is: did you have any left?:hmm:

Bad weather makes it harder for enemy ASW to hear you... as in RL.

Regarding the DD's leaving the BB behind... it is an SH3 issue... not a GWX problem that causes it.

Some things we can fix. Some things we can't fix.
