Default Congratulations

Tell me you did it at 1X TC

That would require some kind of party at the end.

I think in total it was something like (real) 5-hours possibly longer from when they located me to them leaving. I was using x1 to x64 TC on and off over that time period

I've actually had situations like that with SH4 + OM where using any kind of TC = instant death.

Another point to slipping away is also zig zagging periodically. It's a painfully slow process while running at 1 knot but it does help by increasing their patrol pattern which in turn makes it easier for you to slip away.

My experience with TC has generally been that they detect you and promptly sink you. I tend to shy away from anything above TCx8 until I'm in the clear and even then I've seen escorts come steaming back.

I have an idea of how to make the uboat hull integrity decrease with DC's that explode near the boat. Still working on the implementation of it but if it works it'll add to the pucker-factor of being DC'd
