Hmmm. Ok, I get it

Thanks for explaining.

This flare thing is quite strange. Looks like some kind of insect flying around

Well, maybe your sub was that deep, but you yourself were obviously playing Superman and flying above to take a look.

Or maybe just using X-ray vision.:rotfl:

No it was that clairvoyant sensor man. You know the one that tells you your passing thermal layer... and previous to that they knew "We have been detected Sir"....

You can scry through him and see the action 80 feet above you.... oh.... uhhh wrong game... :p

I can honestly say I play with external camera on.. too much eye candy...

That being said the only time Ive seen the flares is when I was in a surface attack to kill off a straggling merchant. The convoy had begun to move on, I came up behind to finish off the listing merchant...

A few star shells were lit up a little behind us.. probably to get a good shadow off of us.

Long story short... 4 or 5 more rounds of AP into the heavily listing tanker and she went down.

Crash Dive ! got deep quick and switched to silent running. We continued a slow but determined dive to crush depth.

Cruisers never had a chance to find us. They DC'd here and there but were just fishing.
