GWX 2.1 passive sonar - Page 2

hi!

i,m new here and first a hello to all!

i,m playing sh3 + gwx2.1- what a wonderful addon!

the only issue i do not like is the passive sonar of the destroyers currently in summer 1940 hunting in the western approaches wih the VIIb.

when i attacked a convoy and was counterdetekted of course the escort steams for me and nails me down with depth charges. normally when i deal with 1-2 destroyers i,m able to survive (having about 130 meters water depth) until he runs out of charges. but without using silent running there is no way to manouver that he looses contact. the escorts are turning above you and follow you for hours without having depth charges.

and now the point- when turning on silent running i can simply relax. go slow speed with silent running and he will loose me immediately for sure and steam off.

without silent running even using minimum rpm,s, manouvering carefully etc, there is noc chance to loose him.

so i have two options a) without silent running i cannot loose him, b) with silent running i will loose him for sure...

is it only me having this and is there a way or hints how to loose an escort without silent running? ( i,m tending NOT to use it, because with it i,ts too easy to loose an escort)

thanks for any comments!
