After all of the hundreds of hours I've played this game, I just had the most heart stopping experience after installing this mod. Let me set the stage.

East coast of England, late December 1939. On a course east of the minefields on my way around Scapa Flow to the hunting grounds. Medium seas, heavy fog. Plodding along at 10 knots waiting for the storm to pass.

Ship spotted! Short range!

OH SHI---

To the bridge! Off the port bow, destroyer! Range must have been 200 meters.

AHEAD FLANK! DIVE!

As the longest dive I ever experienced was occurring, I was expecting the boom of cannons and the screams of wounded crewmembers. The seconds ticked by, but all I could hear was the ever louder whirring of the engines.

Underwater now, ping for depth. 80 meters. Set for 70. Passing 30, 40, 50. Rig for silent, change course.

Sound contact is close, but not getting closer. Engine speed not increasing.

Sound fades further and further.

I SURVIVED UNSCATHED!

This was the laziest watch/sonar crew on a destroyer ever, or a bug. Either way, I'm awake now! We had apparently passed each other in parallel.

God I love this game!
