Look both ways when crossin st.

Ah, Mr. Peabody. A few questions:

1) How far were you from the nearest contact before attacking and how fast were you going? If you were noisy and close the enemy will pick you up.

2) How deep can you go after the attack? If you got the depth those DDs can be evaded. Just go deep and silent.

Or what's worse than not finding any task forces in two years? Finding two task forces together.

Yes it's so easy to make mistakes when you get excited. A little CV mania is all it takes.

8 DD's....Yike!!! It's enough to make you want to choose a safer occupation, like underwater demolition or crash test dummy.

I applied for crash test dummy, I failed the exam.:rotfl:

DJF
I was a little less than 1000 yds don't know exactly. Like I commented I think the DD saw my scope I put it up way too soon, looking for a nice target.
But they had me surrounded before I got deep enough, so they knew where I was. I tried to evade but this time it didn't work. Slow and silent except for those load bangs from the DC, couldn't even get a good nights rest before I got blown up.....

If you want really dangerous work try changing diapers.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Too bad for your loss. I have still to be damaged by escorting DDs after a convoy attack. No one can find old DJFL. That's because after launching torps I dive deep past thermal layer, silent and change direction.

This seems to work really well, or the stock 1.4 DDs are just not that good at listening, even at 5 knots I can travel away with no problem, as long as they were not on top of me at the time.

At 7 knots, even at 3k yards they come straight for me.

Had 3 kids? You didn't give them away did you. It should read have 3 kids, right?

[peewee]

you all missed the worst scenario.........finding your first task force when you only have two torps left.....................
