Ring around the Rosie

ok is it just me or do the subs just LOVE to go around in circles just enough you cant get a line up to drop charges on them at all. i been circling these two ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for a good IRL hour and have not had an opperuntity to drop charges on either. i tried janking them with odd turns, going full speed, stopping, reverse, slow speed they just wont ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stop.

I find a similar problem and I've noticed there is a very steep skill curve.

I now plan differently to adapt.

When a U-boat is sighted my objective is to suppress it until it is behind the convoy. Obviously if I can sink it, all the better. Changing my mind to view suppressing it and preventing an attack as a victory has helped me to not stay chasing after the one sub and to more freely move to another.

I've also noticed you can scoop up gun kills by doing this. My last crossing I deployed this new tactic. My depth charge kills were lower, but my ship losses were lower too.

Once a U-Boat is behind the convoy it's only choices are to disengage or to surface and give chase. I scored 6 total kills with guns when they would surface to try and chase the convoy.

When it comes to dropping the charges on them I try to anticipate their turns. They know you are coming and will turn, you have a 50/50 chance of being right.

I've been practising hard and still struggle to get depth charge kills. The challenge makes it worthwhile though.

i actually resolved this issue a few minutes later with the drumming strategy. i pulled a corvette over and did turns crossing attacks so the sub couldn't evade like the beating of a dum. it eventually sank.
