>>Here is a ferocity not even achieved by Trigger Maru

Ohhhh.. and to think i was acutally thinking about increasing the effects of thermal layers up a half a notch (took it down a full notch in current WIP).

Now i think i wont. Maybe ill just let it ride, and if its too much, im sure folks will let me know in no uncertain terms. :rotfl:

Edit:

I can say this, that one test mission i ran, i put myself in a bad position, but it was to simulate the after effects of a convoy attack. I put one tin can in a position where i could detect me. Being at all stop without Silent running enabled, he heard me from about 3,000 yards and came barreling in. This signaled the other 2 tin cans i placed in a simulated convoy position.

The first one came in two runs. After that, "Mr Minekaze" (

) came in along the long axis of my sub and dropped a beauty that exploded right above the aft torpedo room. It did not take off H.I, but it did bust a bulkhead.

I spent the next 20 minutes doing damage control, and was forced out of silent running to effect repairs and control flooding. Once i got the flooding under control, i stopped the pumps, knowing i was still stern heavy, and drifted down to my crush depth. I then had to restart the pumps.Point being, by being forced out of silent running, i dont think i was losing them anytime soon. Once i got the water out, i could tell i was in for a long game of cat and mouse, and had about 2 or 3 more close calls. The 3 kept circleing, either around me, or just behind me.

Point being, i dont know if that test run was an accurate gauge of their effectiveness, but it sure did look like it was going to last awhile. Although the "ring" was starting to form behind me, which is an indicator that i was about to break free - however, im not sure on that either cause they were still dropping close astern.

:hmm: guess we'll just have to see.
