In instances like that, Crash dive and a knuckle turn towards the attacker, rudder amidships, gain some depth until the DD passes you then knuckle turn again and reduce speed to 2 knots. Keep gaining depth until you are 120+.

Then let the cat and mouse start. Always try to keep a minimum profile to the attacker, your boat is a lot smaller end on.

You can man the hydrophone and listen to the attackers engines, when they ramp up he is starting a depth charge run, you can have a quick burst of speed to alter course or depth, when you hear the DC splashes, resume 2 knots.

If you are playing GWX (I know you were going to try) you have to think like a RL captain or you will die. One piece of advice, just because they are pinging, doesn't mean they know where you are.

Stay calm, don't panic.
