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!

This is excellent my friend...
When this kind of thing happens, attack head-on... But be careful with the maneuver... You need good timing... Place yourself facing him... Your crew at the combat station... (obviously)
Once in front of him, reduce the throttle to around 1&2 knots... Total silence... Observe the target... But from time to time... In order to see his cape and listen carefully to your sailor on the hydrophone... Don't don't keep the periscope raised all the time or it will go bad.!!!lol.. ...Prepare your solution at 400 meters open your tubes.. Check the torpedo speed..Recommend Hight.. Minimum depth 5ft magnetic impact relay.. .Don't hesitate to prepare 4 tubes so that they are all ready..don't worry about last minute adjustments or anything else...this is super important to concentrate on the target and nothing else...let it come.. .from time to time he turns right then left, observe his pattern carefully..then as soon as you hear the first ping don't panic...let it come to 600 m, fire a torpedo this will force him to change direction and less than 500m pulls again in its direction... all periscopic observations must be of a few seconds no more...
Now you can escape them but it depends on your maneuvers and a bunch of other parameters depending on the situation... but it can also be damaged... that's the goal, no...
