Yes, you'll be easy to detect, but at periscope depth you still have a chance with a scattershot salvo because the DDs have to come right on top of you. Empty the tanks gradually, go full speed and try to climb up to compensate. Crush depth is around 250m, less so with a damaged hull that your incompetent ass just caused, but still, she should hold while you try other means to get her stabilized. OK, that's bad, but you were supposed to be trained for emergencies. Report comes in that she's sinking and at 120m. "The Tommies are crapping at us." His name might as well be Kaleu Obvious. Instead, the captain stays standing around as he was, useless, delivering some stupid dramatic remark. Run, weave, launch bubblemakers, then go slow and silent again, hoping they will lose the exact fix on your position while the explosions blind them. You need to go full ahead, change depth and possibly turn - ANYTHING to not be in the same spot you were when the charges were dropped. Now you're DEFINITELY detected, there's no point in hiding.

See for yourself:Īpparently, he's running silent and being pinged, at a depth less than 120m, since later he'll sink to that level as a result of damage.
