DD tactics

To be honest, ive only been pursued by DDs twice, and thats only after almost ramming them. Still its 1939...but they wont react to convoy attacks or at best only one ship will break from the convoy and head in a general direction of where the shot took place, then will circle maybe twice, and then go off in some random direction and forget about the convoy all together just to vanish into the sunset somewhere.

I sunk 4 ships in scapa flow and only 1 DD broke from its normal patrol to check out whats going on, apparently britian doesnt care that the HMS hood was capsized in the harbor and its patrol boats couldnt be bothered to check it out.

I believe it does get better. I was in the middle of 1940, and just sank 2 ships in a task group, spent the next 3 RL hours trying to avoid 5 destroyers, sadly they got me in the end, so now im back at 1939 again
