Problem i find with that is i find it sort of tips your hand, allowing them to get a frim fix on you. Something i like to avoid. At best id go 1/3rd. Theres really alot of variables involved such as how long the torpedo's are going to be running. If distance to target is short, you might not have a choice but crash dive. Another variable is after the torpedo's hit, is any escort heading directly AT you, or just in your general vacinity?

The thing is, torpedo's hitting ships are like saying, "hello!". Opening up the throttle to flank speed is basically saying, "Here i am!".

*shrug* regardless, odds are your in for a good depth charging. I just like to try my hand at remaining undetected, but that can be something of a gamble depending on the circumstances.
