Fido Attack !

At what Uboat speed does a Fido not engage anymore?

There is no depth limit however in Stiebler's patch there is a time limit of ten minutes that the torpedo will search for you before giving up.
There is also no speed at which it will not engage, however the slower the better; it will rarely engage at even two knots so one knot is even better.
Fido's looked for a diving sub's cavitation which of course all diving sub's produced since they were crash diving.
So the key is to eliminate that cavitation, at least from your boat, hence the slow speed. Throwing a BOLD (gives the torpedo cavitation to look at besides yours) and maneuvering doesn't hurt either.

No problem. Lately though, I've been spending more time with AOD since SH3's cream puff escorts stink worse than yesterday's diapers.

Old ship burning/hit smoke mod. I'm not to picky when it comes to graphics.
