How to beat this game.

I've been playing off and on for some years now.

I'm currently in mid 1943 and I think I have finally gotten some insight on how to beat this game. Now this will all change when hedgehogs come on the scene, but for now, I'm finding that the best way to survive is, first of all, have an undamaged submarine.

Second, you simply must have depth, which is predicated by #1. I now run for 180 meters in my VIIC as soon as I've fired my torpedoes.

With depth, you make detection harder, and you have time to outrun depth charges if you see them make a run over the top of you.

Without depth, you are toast.

So rule one: Set out with an undamaged sub, and keep it undamaged before you commit to a convoy attack. Don't risk any surface action, like gunning or shooting aircraft.

An undamaged sub means depth which means life.
