SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - Going deep vs. slugging it out on the surface

I have my game tweaked for stronger sub hulls with more hit points to get rid of that silly "BANG BANG BANG BANG YOU'RE DEAD!" nonsense. Also hacked some other file for indestructible engines, prop shafts, periscopes, and especially rudder - how many times have we taken a minor hit, escaped the escorts, then discovered we can no longer steer because the rudder is gone? Pointless to continue if you can't go back to base.

However, it don't make me SuperSub - I sometimes get a wild hair and go blasting away with the deck gun in the middle of a convoy trying to get the escorts to hit the merchies while shooting at me, I get hit a few times and it gets my Irish up so I'm gonna slug it out with three or four of them whatever the cost. Sometimes I win, but when I cool down and look at what's left of my sub I wonder what I actually won?

Wanna use the deck guns the best way is to sink the escorts and whatever armed merchants there are with torpedoes from underwater, THEN surface and blast away at the sheep.
