During testing had received a little damage from some AC. But a few days later i was attacking a convoy in mid 43 in the north Atlantic. After firing my 5 eels. I went down to 200m and silent running.
I was creeping along at 1kt but i kept sinking slowly, i tried 2 kt but the same but just sunk a little slower. So i kept going at 1 kt till i hit 230m Then quickly went up to 3 kt to regain the lost depth. I kept this going for nearly 4 hours R/L time.
I was still unable to shake off the DD. So it came down to drastic measures i came up to Periscope Depth. And let lose a eel at the DD. Luckily for me i hit the bugger and managed to get away.
But it has tought me a lesson that even the smallest piece of damage can effect your Chances of survial.
