Im sorry, but if a uboat captain or any other sub captain could have the opportunity to sink another sub i would have thought he would take it, considering the amount of damage they can inflict on there convoys/warships, so to say leave them alone doesn't really add up to me. :-?

In this game the obj/missions/patrols are flawed as has been mentioned in other posts.:damn:

I will sink anything i can as long as it does not jeopardise whatever the mission i am on, not that there are any mission/patrols it can ruin.

I remember atleast on case from WWII when Finnish sub (Vesihiisi or Iku-turso?"wasted" torpedo to Soviet sub when they surprised it on surface. Don't remember details anymore.

For a Uboat any warship was a target of opportunity so, unless taking action against it would endager the primary mission or pose unecessary risks, there was no prohibition.

Of course, if you're Gunter Prien and you're tasked to sneak into Scapa Flow you won't stop to sink every damned destroyer or armed trawer that happens to pass nearby :hmmm:

That's just common sense!

Then it sunk. How did you get the impression that it just dived?

I have sunk three british subs with single torpedo, all dived, went to the bottom and I got the credit.

I assumed that because i didn't get the credit. Re-played it and sunk it with deck gun, still didn't get the credit :nope:

Not very accurate historically :)
In RL
Brit Subs sunk 13 Uboats
Uboats only sunk 3 British Subs

Statisticly you should be more likely be the victim in such an encounter.

Well im glad that they did take place and that stops peeps on here stating it wasnt realistic that subs crossed paths and that torps shouldn't be wasted on other subs :D

Correct, Allies and Axis subs crossed each others paths a hell of a lot espcially in the Med -
To say its unrealistic is just bollocks.
Its just that such encounters didnt result in sinking most of the time as WW2 subs were not designed or equipped to really tackle one other.
Abit of a stale mate.
