Isn't this unrealistic in the extreme?

Thanks.


I know about stopping right in front of my target on the map UI so that I enter silent. But I generally find that I am dropped into the path of a stampede.


How accurate is the battle space to the map UI? Meaning if I merge from the side of SAG travel will the battle space give me a flank attack?


I have tried using the OPTION.TXT setting in DM which allows you to boost the initial contact distance to allow me to position optimally. But I have to say the MOD has some of the most aggressive escorts ... practically suicidal.


I am USED to more WWII where all escorts will prosecute you. After about 45-60 minutes most will catch up with convoy while one will hang back and try for another hour before giving up. I don't see them really giving up in DM.


Thanks.


PS: Yes. sub v sub in '68 is kind of like dog fighting in slow motion. I think I might have made 1.1G knuckle.
