The game is female thats for sure

hot one minute, cold the next

Take the Bastion Gambit mission for example:

i played it a few times today. in one case, i was pinged from afar by a surface ship which made a b-line for me, as did his buddy. same scenario, 50 ft from the floor, 2 knots, low aspect ratio and discovered as if by magic. i fired at them both, but shortly after that i had a sub fire a spread of 4 at me, i had a plane drop an air dropped torpedo on me. it very soon felt like the whole red fleet was onto me. they made short work of me.

in the next case, they couldnt find their butts with both hands, i stalked up right nearly under the escorts into the boomer's baffles, gave him two up the rear end. spent the other two tubes on the surface escorts. evaded a single shot from a foxtrot sub and let him have it once i reloaded. it went on and on, six enemy ships sent to the bottom and only a single shot fired by the lot of them.

in the iron coffins mission(?), i spent quite a while... an hour perhaps IRL getting into the baffles of one of the subs, closed to within maybe 500 - 600 yds and let him have it, i turned straight for his companion the second the shots left the tubes. and i went deep as i could. the second sub could never find me and was pinging over and over again. he went right over top of me about 800 foot above. i mad a big ascending u-turn and gave him one right up the prop hub.

in a replay of that same mission, tried it again, this time the first sub found me within 10 seconds of the game start using active sonar straight away. fired four at me. in my efforts to evade i was obviously detected by the other sub and before i knew it i was jinking left right up and down to escape 8 torpedoes all over the place. i was still victorious however because one of the subs had a circle runner and was taken out by his own torpedo. the second sub i played chicken with leading all 8 torpedoes back to him as he was closest. most of the torpedoes exploded on the way, but a couple of them left me and homed in on him. so i won that one without firing a shot.
