So I was entering that infamous "mini-English Channel" between England/Scottland and Ireland, and one of those cute little Armed Trawlers spotted me. I was outrunning it easy as Heck, and pretty soon lost it in the fog (it was also dark and rainy and altogether quite terrible vision-wise).

Some time later I spotted a medium-sized merchant. I decided to attack it, and shortly after I spot a search-light behind me. The merchant is partially in-between me and it, so I can't identify the new ship with the UZO, but I assume it's my friend the armed ex-fishing boat again. I decide to give up the attack on the merchant - the water's shallow and a trawler's just not worth scrapping with. I go to flank speed away from there and switch to the map, setting time compression to maximum.

Shortly after I'm dead. It was not my friend the trawler in the fog. It was ein Verdamte Zestörer:damn:!

Remember, kids: Destroyers and trawlers may have the same search-lights, but one's significantly faster and stronger than the other:lol:!

also it's full of mines so if you submerged and on high TC they might get you

The problem is never those little trawlers. Rather, it is the aircraft and warships they contact via radio. After one harrowing incident in very shallow waters off the northeast coast of Scotland, always made sure I avoided them like the plague.
