in TMO, three and sometimes four escorts will circle the area where they detect you. then one escort will dash in for a DC attack while the other two or three sit back, positioned at various angles, listening for you to dash off in a reaction to the DC attack. then a different escort picks up your sound pattern and then executes the maneuver again, and again, and again, until you are sunk or you have managed to out-smart them and sneak away. i refer to it as the Circle of Death, because if you get caught in it, well, you are probably dead-sub-sailing.

True... if you are 1 to panic.

Was a task force I reported on not long ago, that I had the DD/DE's... milling about, with a couple of them nearby to where I was.. (while the big boys, froze up on the spot... whilst the merchie's, beat feet from the area... ) took a bit of doing, but.. was able to get out of the area, while only incurring some minor slap & tickle damages... & there was like.. 6 to 8 of them pesky suckers, a-huntin' for lil' ol' Me... I did manage to sink 1 of them pesky suckers (using a cutie no less... ) Those are worth grabbing a couple of, by the way... don't even have to be @ peri depth to launch 'em...

All I can say is, it pays to keep a cool head & NOT go into full blown panic mode.
