Yeah was just putting some of those evasive manuvers to use was just outside the Brit naval patrol zone at gib (yeah dangerous I know) then I hit a convoy with a total crap load of ships I quickly messaged for help and got another VIIC submarine in to assist musta been at least 20-30 merchants with 5-7 warships one of them instantly pinged me with visibility again at 300m I couldn't see jack all until I had a black swan DD on my tail. I fired off 4 torpedo's in the general direction of the convoy and 2 torpedo's directly behind me did a dive to 200m and used a port side knuckle when the charges hit the water. I sunk 1 medium merchant with the blind torps all fired behind were a miss and I got out of the battle with no damage. Was at 200m for 2 or so hours till I decided to surface just to make sure I was in the clear. Also does anyone know if theres a solution to all that damned bad weather normally I got clear for the first day or two and after that its bad weather for the next 2 weeks or so.

Possibly a nooby question but can convoy DD's etc pick up your radio messages I know aircraft could through the form of triangulation and them subs n ships have those nice little circles on them for picking up enemy signals but it seemed kinda obvious after I called for backup dived was on silent running engines off then I hear the enemy is pinging us sir. Like they knew I was there. Anyway just saved game its 12:40 AM here attacking what seems to be a normal sized convoy 4 escorts 2 Black swans 1 Flower Corvette and one V&D admiralty. Sunk 1 medium merchant and 1 Large Cargo dived down to 200M reloaded 4 front torpedoes and im ready to get into attack again convoy speed is slow and I know their general heading. Thing is this damn flower corvette cant seem to realise all his DC's are missing me but he is keeping me moving at a slow 3 knots which is disallowing me to be able to surface move infront of the convoy and reposition. Anyone have any tips or ideas or will he just get bored after a while. My torps are 4 loaded 2 internal 5 external (5 or so I think IXB no external torps used) 2 Loaded back 2 Ready for loading 2 external, Thanks.

Yes, DD's can pick up your radio messages, as in real life.
