So I was heading to my patrol sector and this popped up, kinda wierd and I think I read someone else coming across this. I assumed it conveys that the convoy is being stalked by a wolfpack so I went to check it out in my VIIC. Turned out whatever hit the convoy did some pretty good damage, of the two escorts, one was a burning wreck just barely mosing along and about to sink, which it did. The other escort, a Black Swan, was badly hurt as well but not as bad. I sank the lone escort with some deck gun action at 3000m and laid waste to the convoy, taking out smaller ships with the deck gun and torping the big ones. I sank 16 cargos, 1 destroyer and 1 tanker. The deck gun is really realistic now, every shot seems to have an effect, whether it's small fires that start or tiny explosions, no more waiting around forever until you get some reward. It was 1940 so I spent the entire affair surfaced, rising up in the middle of the convoy and rippin it apart, only 2 medium cargos and a large cargo escaped my wrath!
edit: I forgot to add...92,000 tons but I didn't get one Knight's Cross for my crew, has it been set to 100,000 tons?
