I'm pretty sure if you surface, the Destroyer that ran you over will help you finish scuttleing your boat

Yeah, that's the other thing. Surfacing in the absence of any threat to finish your repairs is one thing.

Surfacing in the presence of whatever enemy unit caused the damage is quite another.

I've done it, if I felt I had no choice - I figure it's better to pretend that we made it to the surface and abandoned ship even if the game doesn't see it that way.

Meh, for some reason Destroyers never hit anything.

I just hate it when they circle you and you have to wait until theyre near 180 or 0 degrees... that just sucks

Hmmm... Side torpedoes? *writes down idea*

I guess you could mount them the way they did on surface warships.... But I'd imagine that would create excess drag

Also a huge explosion if hit....


Or do torpedoes need 300 m to activate...

You have a figure 8 shape hull like the Sen Toku and just mount the tubes inside the boat...

Be careful that the destroyer doesn't decide to use you for torpedo practice.
They can fire a bigger salvo than you, and don't need you to be at 000 or 180.
(Although it has been done in the real world, you're quite safe in SH3.)
