As I stated, I picked them up on hydrophones, which means that I was already underwater. I'm guessing that radar had nothing to do with it.

Unless you're manually adjusting your speed to 1 kts you aren't really on "silent speed", escorts can still pick you up on hydrophones. Even though the game puts it at 2 kts, it makes a big difference. Have had trawlers or escorts pummel me until I notice I'm running at 2 knots, then switch to one and have seen them instantly loose track of me (even to the point of passing directly over me and doing nothing - early in the war). Later in the time your in it'll take some underwater manuevering and knuckle turns at flank while charges are exploding to get away but won't be impossible if you go back to moving at 1 knot for silent.

Yes, I use less than 50 rpm speed quite a bit, and check it with the dials. I doubt they could detect me diving at less than 50 rpm from 15-20 km out, while in a storm, and the engines being pointed away. I also killed the engines entirely before they reached 10km if I'm not mistaken.

The cook is likely using the decoy ejector to dump waste again.

I'd say it's likely a mod combined with the year. There are guys on the forum who want to create mods with super torpedoes, hi-speed subs, and so on. Perhaps this is an intentional 'joke' put in an otherwise normal mod?

I'd be tempted to examine the files that deal with the sonar detection. Sorry I can't know enough about which files, but someone else here might suggest. You'd be looking for value cranked way out of line.

"Who could it be?? Is it the watch officer, in the tower, with the homing device?"

Perhaps Colonel Mustard with the lead pipe in the dining room?

Old and blind I am. My bad.

Have you checked your boat isn't damaged and your not trailing oil?

This is a good idea. I was decently damaged during one of my previous patrols, but it was just before expending my last torpedo, and going home. Other than this, I don't recall sustaining any damage, and checking SH3 Commander records, it seems that I did not. The most recent example was at the beginning of a new patrol, and I had not seen combat.

I have to say that I concur with Jimbuna on this. This is beyond a doubt a clear case of a voodoo curse if I ever saw one. Try to remember back to your time in port before this starting happening. Did you visit any carnivals or fortune tellers? Did you make fun of any old gypsy ladies or take their parking space or anything like that?

Sorry I can't offer any real help, I haven't been playing long enough. It does sound like something must be giving you away but if you are sure your boat isn't damaged in anyway then I don't know what it might be.

Is it certain that everything is fixed between missions? If not, then maybe transfer to a new boat??
