Hey Pharoah,
This 'prey' sunk me the first time I played it. There are three escorts and some of the merchants are armed. (I got too close) If you get a chance, try it online before the conference. I only tested this by myself and one ship. If you need it I can add more ships. This mission only has four available, I think it will go up to 8 if I remember right, but then I would need to add more ships to sink. And more escorts!!!!!! I wish I could add the battleship and Fubuki but they are built on German subs and won't work. The only other ones (but I haven't tried them) are the oiler and Atlantis (but the atlantis is german too) and I think that is all.

Edit: Here's a thought, I don't know how many people you will have but I can put in 8 Clemsons and you can fight each other. You can shoot your own ships, you just have to select it as the one to aim at. It won't automatically shoot at another on the same side, but I did it by mistake in a single mission. one of my escort was between the BB and my target and I accidentally selected him and he blew up, so I guess it would work in Muti. Could try it. You could do 4 on each side or every man for himself.

Edit: I just added a US trawler to the mission and I could target and shoot it. So like I said it won't automatically start shooting at a US ship, you can tell it to by selecting it.
