2nd, is where is comes to shallow waters areas... (again, probably influenced by My U-boating about... ) I generally avoid shallows... something, that... I still find Myself, working to overcome yet... still being mindful of at least, being able to get to peri depth, with a bit of gap left to go 1/2 that... if needed.

Have to say... is fun... trying to remember to shift gears on the fly...

What I can say is,... the few, rare occurrences of having some, dropped about Me... they weren't golden, magic bullet's.... was able to shake the offender, dropping them... either stealthily or outright destroying them, making sure the coast was clear... surfacing & then... getting the flock outta Dodge.

Hope this, albeit... meager tidbit, helps...

Those Uboat habits die hard

Type 2 charges(IJN started using in late 1943) sink faster and pack a real punch. Can be quite a surprise when first encounter them.

If you get into later war, you will be forced to operate in shallows if want to sink anything. Late 1944 traffic shifts to coastal waters as it really did. Provides excellent opportunities for night surface attacks though. Sometimes have to just submerge as well . Decoys are available then and are helpful.
