Sure they would miss a lot of Depthcharges but...

!!! Inbetween those, no matter how hard I would try to change course, change depth, sticking to the bottom or sticking to near periscope depth to avoid asdic detection cone, running at silent or mid speed, they would always track me with the precision of a GPS.

Damn! even when they ran out of depthcharges, they wouldn't even abandonned but would relentlessly do circles around me for a whole day!!! eventually forcing me to surface where I got killed.

How do you guys do to evade from such all knowing über creatures?!?
Are there some techniques I somehow didn't figured out??

That AI is so messed up
On second hand, maybe it's that ducimus destroyer AI tweaking, I remember having the same syndrome with trigger maru overhauled...

Hehe nothing different than you would experience if we would have a human controlled DD like in the old times of SH II and DC

If the acoustic conditions are good, you can not simply escape 2 alerted DD once they locate you.

Maybe you guys are getting too used to facing AI DD with their poor perfomance and lack of consistence in tactics. Either they are dumb or they are Terminators.

I can't wait to have a human controlled DD for SHV

And remember Surface Escorts rule the seas
