2 things that have been bugging me for some time

[Paul_IronCoffin]

Good evening all,

2 things, if I may:

Tonight I came across a large convoy which included HMS King George V (the first battleship I've ever seen, and so was rather excited to chase and get a kill). The accompanying escorts detected me and I went very deep to escape them. In my haste to get back on the attack I blew ballast, and noticed the stealth meter didn't change from its reassuring green.

But this action seems to be such a noisey affair.

So, is blowing ballast detectable?

Secondly, saving a game seems doesn't seem to save the situation 'at the monent'. This is something I've noted before, but it was particularely acute tonight when I saved after being detected and then continued to play for over an hour before suffering catastrophic damage. When I reloaded from my saved game, I was already fatally damaged and didn't last 5 seconds.

Is this right?

cheers
Paul
