Staying at ahead slow or one third, is defo the way to go when rigged for silent running

2 kts or less = 100% silent
is what i've read

Well yes...that translates in RPM no greater than 100 some make sure you keep an eye on that too. Youre running GWX right?

Yeah I am running GWX. Its a fantastic mod, I just hope I have better luck if I run into a convoy again.

Well said, I must admit it did drag on, and their was one point where I thought of surfacing to end it all....but I decided to stay under, sitting on the seabed as a sitting duck, and a sitting target.

I'm still suprised that the destroyers didn't kill me. Surely is easier to depth charge a non moving target than a moving one???

Maybe that Knights Cross does mean something after all

I was forced/flooded to the bottom early in the career I'm on now. First time that had ever happened to me I think.

Such a great feeling when you finally break the surface and breathe that fresh ocean air again.
