Destroyer ignores my attack

Really, a dark gray U-boat in the night - what do you think a destroyer would see under such circumstances ?

There are hundreds of reports telling they were almost running alongside destroyers at less than 100 meters, and were NOT seen, in the night.

ANd also destroyers and DEs also had no Radar, most not until 1943 (some not even then) - apart from Radar being useless under 1000 meters. So seeing a destroyer most U-boats just changed the course a bit, and were never seen.

If this is in the sim, it is good, because it is real.
