Can this be done? Hidding under a ship?

STEED · 04-03-10, 05:37 PM

I sat under under a Battleship dead in the water and slowly going down, the escorts were not happy. But they knew I was there, had to move off after a while or have 38,000 tons of battleship parking on top of my U-Boat.

I guess the point is it works in a pinch, though it's not exactly on my list of top maneuvers

yes! it works! I sat under the half submerged wreckage of a tanker (12 meters of water) and was able to out wait and outlive the inevitable destroyer reprisals. In 12 meters of water it was the only thing to do, but it worked nicely. I was lucky because the wreckage had settled and i found a good nook underneath. I couldn't be sure if this technique masks your profile when being pinged but it does prevent the destroyers from getting in close and they are unable to drop charges. Another, similar technique that worked was to bring my boat right up to the shore and tuck it in there sideways, the destroyers cannot drop cans on you in this scenario as well

Wait a minute. Did you say you have a couple friends that live in a giant dick?

Where were you? It sounds like a harbor to me, if so I've done that one. Just the other day actually, when I attacked Scapa Flow. I had to hide out for a while to wait out the storm, so I slipped in beside a Fiji class light cruiser.

Yes. I posted a series of 7-8 pictures on how I was able to pick off a DD who relentlessly came after me. I believe I racked up several battle wagons also. I'll have to find that link here on the forum - quite a good time I must say. I hung under a disabled battle wagon, kept the DD on the hydrophone dial tracking him and poked out for the kill after he circled 6-7 times.

great show!

you should instruct your methods to the new recruits.

Vipper · 04-04-10, 05:08 PM

It was done in real battles, the sound of merchants did mask the sound of sub and allowed it to sneak away. Many real life tactics does not work in simulators (while some things nearly impossible in real life does work in sims)

Did I spot a 'umark' there?
