Hello!

Recetly got back into Sh5 and decided to try this mod I kept hearing about.
Glad I did!

Just have a couple of questions.

I started my campaign at the start of the war and I'm now in april 1940. So far I've sunk 9 ships. However, 4 of those are destroyers. And believe me when I say that more than half the ship I find are escorts. I try to avoid them as best I can.

On the rare occasion than I do find a freighter that isn't a 82 ton fishing boat then you can bet that when I've sunk that bastard, I'll have half the royal navy up my *** for the next 24 hours.

So yeah, my question is basically, am I just unlucky or is the AI usually this aggressive? I get that they would send some escort to check it out and maybe pick up survivors, so that isn't so bad.

What I find way more irritating is that when I'm cruising, trying to get somewhere, I spot a ship and it's, like I said, more often than not a destroyer. Doesn't matter if I'm in the English channel or cruising over the north sea.

I don't know if I just remember it wrong but the British home fleet didn't have a ludicrous amount of destroyers this early did they? Not counting the 10-ish that have been reported sunk so far in my game.

While we're on that topic, are the losses persistent? Like, the four destroyers that I've sunk, will that actually effect them in the way that they have less now or does the game just give them new ones when they lose some?

Edit: Oh and one more thing. Is there a way to rename my sub? Every time I get a message it says " To: U-** ". Would like to have a number at least. Muh immersion you know
