After nearly 2 days of looking for the reported large convoy i finally got a visual contact with one of the trailing escorts. :o To my surprise it was furiously handling its searchlight and open fire with its guns. Zooming in i see its fighting an ai-sub obviously landed some hits on the convoy earlier trying to outmaneuver the flowerpot with scope up at periscopedepth.

:hmm: Til now i was convinced that the game engines is not able to emulate a successful sub attack like a user on a convoy with a following duel with an escort though i saw sometimes a burning DD entering a harbor for repairs.
:stare: Anyway im really pissed that it will be now more difficult for me to engage the convoy. Everyone now is on battlestation zigzagging like chicken detecting a wolf.....:damn:
Looks like it was a deckgun attack inspite of 12m waves... the captain must be nuts :88)

Now its getting really weird.... those are :huh: two convoys running over the ai-sub at the same time. 1st is going E the 2nd SW each one with 34 merchants, 1 dido, couple of tankers and lots of escorts and i have already used most of my eals in previous engagements :damn:
