How long after DC explosions am I masked? - Page 2

I'm pretty sure DC explosions don't make you any harder to detect in SH3. Every time I've tried to use this tactic the enemy always knows exactly where I am and I end up spending a nerve racking time trying to avoid attacks. When I go slow, deep and quiet 9.5 times out of 10 I sneak away without ever being properly deteced.

DD ,DC's & ASW = submarine's worst enemy.

Depth , Silence & Slow Evasive manuvers = submarine' best friend

Don't count on something you don't have,or is broken and don't work.

Your the Kpt. Your skill and tactics will prevail.

Good Luck and Good Hunting

Start your escape at Flank speed and set off a Decoy when the DCs start exploding. Set your Dive to below 100 meters. The Flank speed will give you a good start down but once DCs stop set to 2kts and Silent Running. Once at 100meters or lower the Thermal Layers will help hide you. Works 95% of the time for me. The other 5% I get damage and flooding but survive.

As I've said I don't have Decoys yet in GWX... but will asap. And, knock on wood, haven't had the need for them yet. I do have the need tho as I've just run headfirst into a Large Enemy Convoy in the cold North Atlantic in Grid BE39. :hmm: We might be scrod soon.
