Tougher escorts?

Matt86 · 11-03-09, 06:09 AM

Started playing a week or so ago, stock 1.4 with RE and a few small realism/improvement mods but I'm finding the escorts too easy. Ive installed Kakemanns improved escorts (elite) mod which promised a 'Das boot' feeling but their still way to easy to escape. On the surface I get spotted easily and torpedoes are avoided combined with devastating gunfire but when I'm underwater and running quiet I'm invisible without even help from a thermal layer. To get any dangerous attention I need to surface or make unreasonable amounts of noise. Is there any other way to improve escorts? And maybe make depth charges more damaging/numerous? It seems escorts drop so few and even a very close hit does little damage.

I'm tired of going through entire patrols (successfully too) without any damage! Help!
