Feasible actuality question

yeah thats SOME rough weather. i think if it were me i would have turned right towards them from the start, tried to sprint into a position about 2000 meters ahead or so and just sat and waited. again, sometimes no matter what you do, you can't safely get into position on the first or even second try. in those cases its just best to let them go...if you can stomach that. it looks like you werent THAT far off, and remember that rough weather can sometimes play havoc with ASDIC, sometimes its good to just save a game then try different approaches and see what doesnt get you killed.

You are right about it looking close. Actualy I was quite shocked when I looked at the screen shot afterwards. Didn't realise how close that forward escort was. I normaly don't use the external view as an extra eye for target spotting and manuvers etc, I just wanted the screen shot for illustration.
