Congrats on the DD kill mate. It sure is a thrill to turn the tables on them isn't it?
As previously mentioned, the stock version is fun in this respect, but much less realistic. Heck, I was a DD sinking fool playing the stock version. Now, I don't sink DDs anymore. That was a joke, son (in my best Foghorn Leghorn impression). Get it, I don't sink DDs anymore? But I'm still a fool?

Uhem, oh well, I keep pitchin' 'em and you keep missin' 'em.

Anyway, I still do sink DDs but this time in TMO, though the situations are completely different. It's not easy in TMO, that's for sure. One small mistake and you're fish fodder, and that doesn't even account for their mudder. I think you can do it SNAKE. Why not come aboard TMO and join us for the big win? Hmmmmm, now where did I hear that before? Oh well, TMO ramps up the fun factor significantly by making the kill more difficult to achieve.

P.S.: Don't mind me. I'm pushing 48 hours on about 9 hours of sleep.

I've done that once or twice before. The first screenshot in my post one page 231 http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...08977&page=231 was the result of letting the DDs hear me on purpose. Even though it was in TMO 2.0 Three DDs went to the bottom of the Ceram Sea along with a majority of the convoy that they where escorting.

For the love of me.. Guys, the historic tactic was not to engage dds (this is the pre-war doctrine, being a scout, hunting only surface warships)... You're supposed to sink a merc or two, dive, let destoyers at it, keep listening to merchants, and surface, floor it, re-establish convo, rinse and repeat..

That put aside, when in real life threatning situation (like shallow depths and promontories), or cant evade amptly, this is when to tap-dance the escorts LOL)...

Respect,

Yeah, I mean, when you are in a tight spot, and you have a DD coming after you, and you think there is no time to dive or something, then it may be the case of firing a defensive torp at the escort. But in normal situation, chasing escsorts it is rather besides the point.

I don't post much but Foghorn Leghorn quotes always make me happy.
