Hi all, BH.

On my first early war campaign, somewhere near Truk. Found a convoy with 2 destroyers and 4 merchants. After a failed/sucessful attack (tried several times), those two destroyers converge on me like there is no tomorrow.
As soon as I release the fish, I dive to 400 ft (with a gar), running silent, 1 knot, and no matter where I turn to, no matter how long, those two little cans always reck me up with DC's. I was under the impression that early war sonar would not reach that deep.
They do loose track of me for a bit, then ping around, and with me sitting there at 400ft, even 0 knots, silent running, they somehow magically find me and drop the DC with surgeon precision on top of me... Am I assuming something wrong?
I am using the Mod as described with no other extras except for "no trembling" - underwater screencaps and a skin (SH4_original_4k_light_gray).

Thanks!
