Avoiding Detection

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

you could try using bold 1 decoys. i have never used one before.. yet...
however by the way the game discribes it, " it releases a chemical (metalic substance ) which creates a sort of false image for about 3-5 minutes giving the u-boat time to slowly slip away "

like I said, I have not used it yet, so im not intierly sure how effective this really is.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Or you could try evading the destroyers till they get tierd of hunting you, don't know why but it works for me,

change depth from time to time, turn hard to port or starboard just make sure the destroyer is at around 90 degrees on your port or starboard to keep minmum damage from depth-charges when the destroyers pass over you. and stay quiet by keeping the speed low and only increase speed when thier on top of you. avoid staying at a curtain depth, trust me they seem to be able to set depth-charges to det. at curtain depths.

this dosen't exactly help avod detection because when your in front of them and your moving they'll find you, you can move whe your behind them, but again, quietly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

note its harder to escape destroyers which aren't on escort duity.
i hope this can come in handy

patiance and memory, is the key...

Incidentally, in TMO1.9, Ducimus, its modder, disabled decoys. He said they were not realistic, etc.
