I always seem to run into these PITA DDs mid ocean.

I'll just have to avoid the bastards.

I gave up on night surface attacks on DD's. I can never get close enough to fire before they spot me.

No strange mods. Just the ones included in the mod itself.

This is at All Stop. So I'm just guessing at RPMs.

Yes, as propbeanie asked are all your gauges stuck at "noon" position ? If youre engines are at all stop, then definitely should not show them at 150 rpm. Its a bug, one I rarely see in TMO but it can happen, especially after loading a saved game. Typically happens when save was made near another unit or land, especially another submarine.

Hmm. Are you using the "Donation Narwhal Class" or the one included with TMO? I ran 14 patrols with the Donation Narwhal, testing the missions I made for it in upcoming version. She was was noisy and certainly could not get away with things could in a Gato etc. I honestly havent used the default Narwhal or Pseudo Narwhal as its called in TMO in a long time, but I recall its noisy as well. Honestly, have to use a lot of discretion in what and when try to approach and attack. For example, you run into DD's out to see , they are patrols...this means they are set to Elite skill level and are searching for submarines, not really something want to attack in a old noisy boat. I give them a wide berth typically even in a modern fleet boat unless have no other option or present such a favorable set up form outset, can't turn it down.

Night surface attacks on DD's, not a great idea either, esp in a slow diving boat like a Narwhal class. Larger, easier to spot, especially for a highly skilled DD. DD's are earlier non capital ships to get radar, a few of them get it somewhat early in 42(used historical records to assign dates) so then your boat is a even larger radar target.
