+10.

Make sure you are in the opposite direction when them landing!
Unless you're watching with external cam, you may not know what it is that is hitting the water above you, which definitely adds to the suspense.
I've peeked above the surface once or twice, only to see those things raining down on top of me. it is quite thrilling and some choice words have been said.

Yeah hedgehogs are a bitch. When I used to run external cam I would watch the spread come down on me - sometimes they would rain right past me but not hit me.

If they hit you, though, bad bad news.

Hedgehogs make it hard to dual with destroyers.

First thought is Holy Sh1t what hit me?

I have no idea they are coming so can't really generate any fear of them. Mind you, if you're getting 'hogged' you ain't doing it right.

So what's the best way to evade hogs. I know they sink fast so does depth really matter, or is flank speed and direction change better?

I'll try to remember to post some screenshots of the 'bogey man' tomorrow.

Speaking for myself, all the above.

Being in the nightclub, your boat parked in its pen, while some other poor slob of a Kaluen is being pounded.
