S-class in convoy

[Tiny]

Hey

Yesterday I attacked a convoy a long way west of spain heading north. I was awaiting the convoy when suddenly I detected a sub-like sound on the sonar...I had sent a contact report earlier and I though it might be another kraut sub :rock:


Then I allocated an S-class going submerged after a Large merchant (which blew up by 1 torp btw :arrgh!: ) with its periscope up. He was going behind the large merchant just as if he was a freighter. Anyone seen this before?

I didn't even think AI subs were actually able to submerge

There are numerous subs scripted into the game (GWX) ...some surfaced and some submerged :arrgh!:

I've sunk an S-Class outside Lorient with two torpedoes the other day. I spot him on the surface on a clear day and I fired two torpedoes from 4km away. He blew up like the 4th of July;) :D :up:

How do you attack the S class with torps? It's not in the recognition manual is it? how to determine range and stuff? or was it just pure luck?

Good point... it's not in there...(?):huh:

First of all I am not using automatic targeting, but it was not so difficult. You just have to aim, set the torpedoes to 1m running depth (just to ensure a hit) impact pistol (to avoid premature detonations) and just calculate the solution and fire. Are you sure it's not in the recognition manual? I don't remember that but if it isn't someone will put it in.

Yes there some subs scripted in with convoys
Both Brit and German AI

Attcked a convoy outside of Gib
Sank the 4 escorts and surfaced for some DG action

All of a sudden am taking damage
Damn S class in the convoy :o

Sunk him with the DG too

I've got GWX 1.02 and went on my 1st patrol with a new career. Late 1940, Type VIIC U-Boat, about a 200 km W of St. Nazaire (BF55 I think) I encountered/sunk a S-Class subermarine. My first sub kill. It was at night and my watch crew spotted em first. We closed and submerged to peri depth. All it took was 1 torp. :|\\ My first reaction was "what-the-hell" which turned to "I'm not going to let him get away".

Well I went to the sub base in Lerwick just to bag one myself....

Found it inside the harbor docked. It was not an easy shot but 3m with magnetic p did the job for me...:rotfl:

Last week I found an S-Class on the surface about 150kms sw of Lorient. Here is a thread with some screens:

It also shows Seth doing a Crazy Ivan with one :)

Guys,
Last time i checked, there was no s-class in the recognition manual. I wonder if the ommision is on purpose due to historical accuracy? :huh:

[bigboywooly]

More likely due to the fact subs dont show in the rec manual
Only units in the Sea folder show
IIRC that is
And am not sure I do these days
:rotfl:
