still pretty lucky.

i hit a convoy yesterday, and all the DD's literally just sat and did nothing while i sank all the merchants. motionless. drifting.

I had a fog-time Merchant encounter once where I sank 5 ships and none of the DDs ever came close. Basically I silent ran in, periscope depth, let loose a 10 torp volley and dive for reload. Then I came up again and fired another 10 torps. All in all 5 ships sank, 2 damaged. I decided not to stick around so I dived and ran silently for a while until I was sure the coast was clear. All this time I could hear light screws on constant courses. Not even evasive action let alone hunting for whomever sand the merchants.

I keep hearing these reports but I have yet to see a DD do nothing.

Quite the opposite.

I have seen DD's skitter about scratching there head as to where I was.

I have seen Bungo Pete in action persicuting me at 200 + feet below thermal layer in silent running (he got the kill by the way).

But I have never seen them do "nothing".
