I was thinking the same thing as GoldenRivet.... are you rigged for silent running? The only chance you have to get rid of those dds is to make sure Bernard isn't rattling utensils in the officers mess during a mug up. Good luck, mate.

@Jochen: What realism are you using doing your channel escapades?

Using 100% realism, I've not yet made it through alive...

Trust me, exactly 3000m decks awash in full dark on the Calais side both in and outbound. In a VIIB and IXB, works every time.

In a situation like that, in real life you'd be toast, and probably have to abandon ship accepting capture, hopefully the French get you cause then you get released shortly lol. I've gone through the Channel at my current realism setting in early 1940 and generally speaking, the best bet is make sure you don't get detected. If you are, the enemy comes in droves intent on one thing, your destruction. They don't want you a fully armed Submarine reaching the shipping lanes.

I'd up the TC settings, get everything that is left repaired and try to surface using the S key. you might be able to slowly bob to the surface, if your main pump survived the ordeal you may make it. Wait till dark before you try it, then dash to ahead flank back the way you came to the North Sea. Hope like hell nothing finds you.

I can get through that channel in 1944 on the surface and only get attacked 2 times.

And one more thing how are you moving at 20 knots at ahead standard?
