DD more skilled in SH3?

I find the DD's in SH4 are largely dependent on you making a noise or showing your scope to much to even notice your infiltration. After a target has been sunk I always use its general position as a sound screen while it breaks up. I usually dont fire till im right up close (1000y or less) with any target, and the position keeper for the US boats is invaluable for this.

The only real trouble is when you start your attack from an unfavourable position, or attempting to retreat after the attack. Thats why I always keep a fish or two ready for that DD that gets the bit between its teeth and tries to run you to ground. Fire, dive, run silent & deep and zig zag in the hope that the torps hit the target and get the hell outa dodge.

At least thats in my experience

Trigger Maru DDs aint thick. I think all the big mods have done the same by making the DDs more elite. Ive ran OM monsoon, TM and FOTRS mods to name a few and the DDs dont mess around in hunting you.

The Stock SH4 they are pussies!
