However, I have not tried the techniques the other guys have mentioned.

So, when I feel up to it, I will give it another try.

Assembling the patrol now. Just finished Part 1 so I might put it up on YouTube later today.

Rob.

One thing in your favour Rob is that he only has a finite number of cans to drop on you So eventually he will lose the sting in his tail

All the best matey....take good care

Each Bold gives you about 15-20 minutes of impunity from DDs, so use them wisely

Well, using the tactics that the guys suggested, I got out of that mess, but after midnight, when I thought it was safe, I surfaced and guess what. Yep. I'm into another mess. I guess I surfaced too soon. Two Hunt III and 2 River Destroyer Escorts from that convoy detected me by radar and are coming after me. Damn.

Will let you know how this one turns out.

Rob

Additional info: I took out 1 River Destroyer Escort and the Hunt III's turned around, but the other RDE kept coming. His fault. :rotfl:

I've read a lot about the later stages of war here, and I documented myself on new equipment available to Allies in that time. But gamewise, what tactics I'm using in 1940 won't be working anymore? What am I to expect?

Thank you, gentlemen.

Thank you, gentlemen.
You can expect death by DC, hedgehog, gunfire, drowning, crushing, DD, airplane, your own mistake, Bernard, food poisoning, mines, armed trawler, armed tug, armed merchant, collision, your own homing torpedo, ramming. The Kriesmarine offers a wide range of choices :rotfl: :rotfl:
