Evading deep?

It works for me, man ! The other advantage about rough weather PD is that you can raise your scope and, using the map (F5), spot when you are in the baffles of the pursuing escort - typically 150 degrees + AoB on either beam. Clicking on him will bring up the overlay. At that point you can ring up flank and increase distance.

The game doesn't model things like the effect of silent running on pumps and such as AOtD did. If you go to flank at depth, they can hear you. I've tested this - escorts always depth charge the last position you were detectable at before going silent.

Rough weather is the only environmental variable I've found that significantly affects AI hydrophones, and only when you're running shallow.
