WTF??? He knew I was there!! - Page 2

Ok am I missing something here???? I've just been killed.

I get a report of a convoy, so i move to intercept at 1/3 speed. I dive down to 30mtrs, then rig for silent running.

I rise to periscope depth when I feel i'm really close to the convoy. While i'm still rigged for silent running, and creeping at 2 knots, the DD ASDIC kicks in, picks me right up, depth charges me to hell and gone!!!!

this is meant to be a bit easier, given the fact its still Feb 1940. Despite following advice to "creep like a ninja" i still get my head chopped off!!!!!!!!!

WTF is happening?? Have I missed something? Before installing GWX, i never had problems with convoy hunting!

Where are you and whats your AOB to the DD when you go to periscope depth and 2 knots?

Was your side facing the front of the DD making for a larger surface area to detect? Were you under 1000m away when it detected you? Was your scope raised fully for an extended time?

My scope was down, and i had my nose pointing into the convoy to get in among the ships.....although even in calm seas, if there is heavy rain and thick fog, convoy attacks are tricky.

Hi!

Are you using the latest patch? There was an issue (now fixed) with the first GWX release with "1/3 speed" not being silent, since "Silent Running" effects only happen at 2 knots or less but the "1/3 speed" and "Silent Running" key commands were resulting in speeds greater than 2 knots.
