Default Polish Submarine

Hi, I found a sub when I'm doing the first mission in twos, the polish invasion. It's going underwater at 3 knots and it's night. So I only can hear him. I do able to draw a course where his going and found the speed. But thats all. How can I hit him?

Interesting. I suppose you could launch a salvo set to different depths using magnetic. If it is at periscope depth you should get it.
Let us know how you got on.

I can't, there is no ping button. It removed for realism purposus as far as I read at some topic in this forum. But I still can able to know the range, I'm measuring the distance using the ruler at navi map.

Is it worth to send 4 torpedo to a submarine? Also aren't they has same depth when salvo shooting?

I chased him untill morning. I have external camera option open, so I found him and marked on map. Tried 3 torpedo to find the depth. 25 meters. At the navi map I opened the tdc dials and select the manual input on. Targeted the marked position and send a single torpedo. Boom.
