Sonar vs Thermal Layers

Armistead · 11-04-10, 06:20 AM

The thermal lawer basically gives you a sonar coat. If you were loading, you obviously had silent running off, which also gives you a few value points in your favor of not being heard. Early war it's rather easy to go deep and stay under their sonar cone. As stated the biggest factor is rough seas, gives you the most value points, course calm seas you take a loss.

The best evasion tactics depend on water conditions. If they're rough I'm staying flank until I escape. If calm, I stay silent until a DD makes a pass, then flank so the charges fall behind, back silent.

Depth and the correct use of speed I seldom use silent running if I need to load my tubes.
