k, I've sunk a sub with DC's, but I'll be damned if I can't put one down using headgehogs. On the up close radar and inside the innermost circle, I simply cannot sink one with hogs, and I know the subs not very deep because its firing tows.
Any ideas ? How are the mechanics supposed to work in this game ?
DC's are pretty tough to get a hang of too. Visibility in trying to dodge tows in the water has proven awkward as well.
BTW, those airplanes are a pain in da arse !
Hogs fly out to about 300m and just keep droppping until they hit something. Torps can be fired from a depth of up to 50 metres but subs can change depth very quickly when shallow and also move out the way quickly using pivot turns and flank.
Just some general DC tips:
As far as DC's go, you need to thing about a couple of things:
- How deep the sub is now;
- Where the sub is now;
- How fast it's moving.
and then guess all of those factors by the time your DC's will make it to the depth required and nail the sucker.
You need to think like a sub captain so I'd heartily recommend playing some sub missions and try to get into that mindset.
Dodging torps is great fun, unless you get caught between two subs and then you have them coming at you from multiple angles. Generally unless I have plenty of time to turn away from the torps I turn towards the sub and as corporate says above use spectator view (& keyboard or voice control) to jink between them. You then get a good chance to drop some DC's on it in return for the torps.
Hope this helped.
Good hunting,
