This is possible in WWII with DC above going to flank (given the noise and loss of contact) and making 90 turn left or right. Sprint and then, go back down to quiet. But the SONAR here seems impossible to disengage from.


Thus, I find that most engagements require you to sink all escorts to get away. Unless you are very fast and sink the closest, you might be beyond detection of those still hunting.


It is this "last man standing approach" which I don't like so much.


Is that the way it is suppose to play, or am I doing it wrong?


Thanks!
FIRST AT ALL: Take the time to really understand the SIG panel (it's the most important thing in the game...).Enter the mission at slow speed.Go silent.Go deep.Keep your distance.For surface groups fire at a distance and down the ping paths.Firing down the ping paths means you can't miss.If you're far enough away, the counter-attack happens too far away to matter.For subs, get behind them,fire at an angle,then dogleg your torpedos into your targets.Generally, the only thing that spots you is air units...so trial-and-error,trial-and-error,trial-and-error.Good luck and good hunt.
