Ah, maybe you can help me with a DOT mod question. I have not really tried the base game.

I like WWII Uboat style hunting. Sink some targets. Then, try to survive if you are detected ... which it seems you always are in DM-CW. Finally, break contact, and disengage.

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!
