The sound man is not able to announce "CIRCLE RUN!" I've never heard of it. You have to to it yourself. You can use the tactical map and watch the torps or you can watch the tracks through the scope to see if it changes course immediately before the track fades, or you can listen on the track of a torp. It should not change direction by more than a few degrees.

Even though the destroyer did not mean to take one for the team that is awesome that it did. I have yet to experience this but if it ever happens by accident I will be impressed.

Had this happen to me not more than two nights ago. Was trackin a task force with 3 crusiers, several merchants, and 6 DDs.

I got past the first screen and thought I had a clear shot on a crusier ... "Fire 1!" "Torpedo in the water sir!" "Hot dog! Lookie it go!" .... "WAIT! NO! NO! GET OUTTA THE WAY!!!" "Stupid damned DD!"

Well he paid the price and the whole group was alerted to my presence. Dropped to 170 and went silent and port 30 and all stop. The remaining escort motored right past me and into the area they thought I was last, and started making gysers.

"Ahead 1/3" "Starboard 30" "Periscope Depth" ...

We got him.

Sunk a couple more DDs and a merchie before skeedaddling.
