There are some deadly destroyers in this mod...
Last night, on my first trip out in my new Tambor, I ran across a destroyer escort patrolling the south end of the Sibutu Passage. The damn thing must have had radar, because it was pitch black out (I couldn't see the destroyer) but it made a 26 knot beeline to me. Hammered me with depth charges for a while, then wandered off. I surfaced, started to repair the damage, and the damn thing hustled right back to me. Pinned me back down and killed me, despite me doing my best to get out of the way at 325 feet.
Part of me was going "Wait, I know Japanese depth charges were supposed to not go that deep this early in the war," but the other part of me was delighted at how good that thing was. It circled around me, pinging me from all sides, working out exactly where I was.
Career #3 coming up. Excellent mod!
