British S-Class I believe. Didn't know they operated with convoys. :hmm:

That's indeed an S-Class. British? Well, that depends on who owns the convoy's ships. Could be American, British, or even Greek.

[bigboywooly]

Aye tis an S class
US S class as a place holder for a British one we now have

Early war the Brits sent out subs with convoys
Not as escorts but as protection against suface raiders
Was only till a prearranged point then the sub would go off on patrol ( except the ON\HN convoys across the North sea where the subs were there from start to finish and some of the PQ\QP\RA murmansk convoys too)
Unfortunately if a unit is in an RND group it stays till the end
Game limitation

If the are in a convoy, they are most likely to
the last ship in an outer row.

[Kipparikalle]

Are underwater subs able to launch torpedoes or what they do?
Help the DD's to detect your sub?

[Capt. Shark Bait]

Can't launch torpedos but can fire on you with their deck gun when surfaced and report your position to the escorts :oops:

I did not even know that they are in the game. So far, I have not come across any convoys at all, only single ships or ships in harbors. I have been chased by two or three destroyers, but that is it.

[Stealth Hunter]

S-Class subs are fun to sink with torps, especially if you hit their torpedo/ammo reserves.

BOOM!!:rotfl:

You need to be playing GWX if you want to see AI subs :hmm:
