Hedgehogs Nightmare

[PacificWolf]

Hello.
I was i a middle of the mission and a destroyer is going straight to me (nose to nose, collision course) i was in swallow water(about 30meters to the bottom), i dive to 25 meters and he start to pinging me.
Taking into account the fact that i have Albreich improved i think that in frontal contact the echo returning to destroyer will be wery small (especially with this sonar coating) i was wrong, he fire Hedgehogs and full ahead flank saved me but i take serious damage and have to return to base.
Does Any of You know how to evade the hedgehogs.

if you hear it hit the water its too late. Theres truly no way to escape it, thankfully the explosive charge on those bad boys isnt that great. They usually fire them if they see you dive when their close to you otherwise they usually just standard depth charge away. With a 7kt speed at max theres no running, ive tried everything. Believe me

But i was submerged all the time, it looks like he recieve sms from God and know where i am (when my sonarman heard him i was go to Silent running)

yea but he knew your general position the hegehog fires 20 -25 rounds in a loop pattern they only blow up it if hits you, so it doesnt mess up the destroyer ASDIC like DC. You cant move that far at 1-2 knts silent running. As long as he saw you dive he had your position to fire the hedge toward.
