Found a convoy, 50nm south of Bungo Straits. A pair of escorts, some merchants, one nice juicy tanker. It's pitch dark, I barely see the silhouettes of the ships, so I use passive sonar.
Time passes, no bearing change, it's coming my way, so I dive to 170ft, just under the layer, and wait for the first escort to pass. Full stop, battle stations, silent running.
The escort passes just over me, as planned.
The unplanned part is that the escort launches depth charges all over me. No ASDIC warning, nothing. Just like a walk on the park, and OOOPS I'm dead.
Still asking myself what I did wrong. I will reload later just when I made contact and try again...
